Re: Dreamcasting - Round Two
Want to know something funny? Hitch didn't originally draw Fury as Samuel L Jackson.
He drew him as Avery Brooks.
Yeah, I heard about that one too.
As far as I know, they envisioned Fury to be more of a Colin Powell as quintessential black man of power + Dean Martin-like King of Cool. The visualization was something else that came up AFTER, and Samuel Jackson is a logical computation of both aspects of the character.
But that doesn't mean Jackson is a hard-lined interpretation of the character. Whoever plays the film version of Ultimate Fury, would depend entirely on how he's supposed to function within the film... how the film ABSTRACTS the comic character into its storytelling.
