The original manga followed the life of Afro Samurai who witnessed his father (owner of the No. 1 headband) being killed by the hands of a gunslinger named Justice (owner of the No. 2 headband) while he was a child. As an adult, Afro sets off to avenge his father’s death and kill Justice.<\/p>\n
The property was adapted into a five-episode anime TV series by Studio Gonzo in 2007, a TV movie sequel “Afro Samurai: Resurrection” in 2009, and a successful video game. Jackson lent his voice to the character in these works.<\/p>\n
Jackson, Jasbinder Singh Mann and Shin Ishikawa will produce. A writer & director will be attached shortly and shooting will take place at Pinewood Indomina Studios in the Dominican Republic in 2012.<\/p>\n
