We’ve learned of some new casting possibilities for Brad Anderson’s serial killer thriller Jack that’s been delayed after a planned August shoot. We’re told that Liev Schreiber (Scream, The Omen, Wolverine, Repo Men) has been offered the lead role of ‘Jack’, with Samuel L. Jackson (Snakes on a Plane) in negotiating for ‘Pete Chandler’.
