Nevermind that it has been more than a decade since the first The Long Kiss Goodnight premiered on the big screen, Samuel L. Jackson has revealed that he is eager to revisit the film and is working on a sequel with directory Reny Harlin.
“We sort of have a development project now for The Long Kiss Goodnight 2. We’re talking to writers, you know, getting it together… Mitch is one of my favorite characters,” said Jackson.
The 1996 film followed Samantha Caine (Geena Davis), a suburban housewife, who after a bump on the head, begins to remember little bits of her previous life as a top-secret assassin. But when old enemies track her down, she faces the fight of her life and enlists the help of Mitch to survive the attacks.
Geene Davis, however, is unlikely to return in the sequel, according to Jackson:
“We’re thinking, you know, the little girl [Samantha's daughter, Caitlin] is grown up now and possibly got some skills passed onto her by her mom. Her mom gets killed and we want to find out who did it. She comes to find me because I’m the only connection to her mom and I might know the people that have done that.”

As much as I hate this current era of dreaded sequels we’ve found ourselves in, I, for one, am truly excited for this bit of news, because The Long Kiss Goodnight is one of my favorite (dumb) action movies ever.
