How did Samuel L. Jackson's shocking and best scene in "Deep Blue Sea" come about? *Note! Contains spoilers.

Samuel's offer to appear on the show was rejected once.

This film was directed by Scandinavian director Renny Harlin, who was known for his The Birds action films such as `` Die Hard 2 '' (1990) and `` Cliff The Hunger '' (1993).

It is widely known that `` A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 '' (1988) determined his early career, but in the late 1990s he was looking for a subject to tackle ``horror'' head-on again. . What he ended up with was the script for ``Deep Blue Sea,'' which depicts the terror of the sea with no escape.

However, when it comes to movies about sharks attacking people, comparisons to Spielberg's Jaws are inevitable. Is this an advantage or disadvantage? There was quite a bit of conflict within Harlin, thinking, ``Hmm, shark...'' However, more than 20 years have passed since the birth of that masterpiece, and technology such as CG and animatronics has made tremendous progress. If that's the case, isn't it about time for a new shark movie? It was this excitement that made me decide to take on the challenge of this work.

Making a new era shark movie. Then, there was someone he wanted to approach first. Samuel L. Jackson.

The two previously worked together in ` `The Long Kiss Goodnight '' (1996) and proved their excellent chemistry, so one would think that they accepted the role in this movie as well. But the reality was different. It seems that the agent who read the first script for this movie decided to pass on it, saying that it was not suitable for Samuel.

By the way, at this time, he was approached to play the role of a cook. Initially, the story was that two cooks were always stationed in the kitchen, and they were attacked by a shark and tried to survive by using each other's wits (later, this role was merged with one person, and LL Cool J's winning role).
