HBO has set Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson to star in “The Sunset Limited,” an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy play. Jones will direct. According to Variety, McCarthy adapted his play into a script. Production will begin next month in New Mexico. Jackson plays a man who saves another man (Jones) from throwing himself in front of a Harlem subway. The act begins an exchange of ideologies as two men from different backgrounds debate the worth of their lives. Barbara Hall will produce, and Jones will be executive producer. Jones and Jackson previously worked together on the 2000 William Friedkin- directed “Rules of Engagement” and Jones moves into his third collaboration on a McCarthy-penned piece. Jones starred in the Coen Brothers-directed adaptation of “No Country for Old Men,” and Jones also adapted the McCarthy novel “Blood Meridian” as a feature script.
