Samuel L. Jackson & Eva Green Are Playing a Deadly Game in Just Play Dead

Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Green face off in Just Play Dead, a high-stakes thriller where love, lies, and $30 million collide—but who’s conning who?

Eva Green and Samuel L Jackson

Hollywood just dropped a thriller that's part Gone Girl, part Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and all chaos. Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson and the mesmerizing Eva Green are set to star in Just Play Dead, a film where marriage isn't just rocky—it's downright murderous.

The Con of the Century

Here's the pitch: Jackson plays Jack Wolfe, a criminal mastermind who fakes his own death to score a $30 million insurance payout. His wife Nora (Green) plays along—until she decides the best way to cash in is to actually kill him and pin it on her surfer boyfriend.

Cue the double-crosses, the seduction, and the inevitable bloodshed.

Director Gary Fleder (Homefront, Runaway Jury) calls it “provocative, sexy, and original.” And with Dan Gordon (Rambo: Last Blood) penning the script, expect razor-sharp dialogue and enough twists to give you whiplash.

Why This One's Different

Hollywood loves a good con artist flick (The Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean's Eleven), but Just Play Dead flips the script—literally. Instead of a heist, it's a marital showdown where the ultimate prize isn't just money… it's survival.

Jackson and Green are perfect casting. He's the king of cool menace (Pulp Fiction, The Hitman's Bodyguard), and she's the queen of enigmatic allure (Casino Royale, Miss Peregrine's). Together? It's dynamite.

The Bigger Picture

This isn't just another thriller—it's a sign of the times. Audiences crave morally grey characters, and studios are betting big on star-driven suspense. With Highland Film Group (Talk to Me, Tar) backing it, Just Play Dead could be the next Knives Out—but with more backstabbing (literally).

If you love schemers, screamers, and Samuel L. Jackson dropping one-liners before (maybe) dying, Just Play Dead should be on your radar.

Who do you think wins this deadly game?
