They played two of the most iconic characters of the 90s in Quentin Tarantino’s iconic Pulp Fiction, and now Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman are set to appear together in a new crime thriller.  

Jackson, who played the mob goon with countless quotable lines in Pulp Fiction, will team up with Thurman, who was Mia Wallace, the crime boss’ wife with the bob and the dance moves. She was equally iconic, of course, as The Bride in Tarantino’s Kill Bill.

Jackson and Thurman will join forces for a feature film called The Kill Room, as revealed by The Hollywood Reporter.

In the new movie, Jackson will play the boss of a hitman, while Thurman will portray an art dealer in a plot which focuses on a money-laundering mission that inadvertently turns the assassin into an avant-garde sensation. 

The thriller/dark-comedy will be written by Jonathan Jacobson and directed by Nicol Paone, who has previously directed Friendsgiving. She said: “Getting to make The Kill Room — an already incredible script with Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson is beyond my wildest dreams.”

The director continued: “Every moment they're onscreen, they are both enviable and eye-catching. I am eternally grateful to both of them for saying yes, and I am thrilled to bring this to life.”

The two actors’ reunion follows their appearance together with fellow Pulp Fiction co-star John Travolta, onstage at the Academy Awards when they presented the Best Actor Oscar to Will Smith.

The trio spoke about their 1994 film, as Thurman and Travolta busted out some of their classic dance moves. 

If you want to see Jackson and Thurman together in The Kill Room, then you’ve likely got a little bit of a wait, as it is set to filming in New Jersey and New York, but as yet there is no scheduled release date.
