andre 2nd 20th Century Boys movie & Afro Samurai live-action (WTF?)In other news, Samuel L. Jackson, the one who voiced Afro in the shitty “anime” Afro Samurai has in plan an Afro Samurai live-action movie. He won’t be playing the role of Afro though, just the role of the dead father. Who does he have in mind for Afro? Andre 3000, the rapper (on the left)! BLEHHH! He might be black and all, but he kinda has that silly face, then again Afro Samurai is CRAP, so it might work out for him. via First Showing
