Samuel L. Jackson Fought To Balance Comedy With Action In The New Shaft
When thinking about the Shaft franchise of films, comedy isnt something that really springs to mind in the forefront of possibilities. But with the legendary bad mother heading back to screens later this month, in the second reboot to carry the Shaft name, its readily apparent that the smooth action will be balanced by a comedic tone that the series will be new to.
Its a prospect that could scare both fans of the original and anyone new trying to get into the Shaft series with the fresh start offered by Tim Storys reboot. But those concerns were put to ease to a certain extent, based on what Samuel L. Jackson told CinemaBlend and a selected group of journalists, during a set visit that took place early last year. In particular, Jackson provided the following commentary on how he fought to keep the balance between the jokes and the action:
The previous Shaft was a little more serious, I guess, in terms of what was going on between me and Peoples (Jeffrey Wrights villain). The level of danger in this changes, because they want it to be light, and there was a conversation about it. The first script was a ha, ha, ha, ha, ha script, and Im like Wait a minute, you really cant do that because Shaft means something to us, iconically, historically, and mythologically. So we can show the lighter side of who he is, in terms of what his attitude is, but the level of danger, of whats going on in the script, has to be the same thing. So when its serious, it has to be very serious.
Shaft certainly isnt the first reboot to take a storied franchise and inject it with a sense of humor that wasnt previously there. But as weve seen in the past, that experiment doesnt always work, and sometimes can be kind of embarrassing. So its noteworthy and important when someone like Samuel L. Jackson, who is a fixture of the franchise since his turn in the John Singelton-directed 2000 movie, raises concerns as to how to make a leap into more comedic waters believable.
Samuel L. Jacksons efforts seem to have worked pretty well, as in addition to the remarks he provided above, all on hand were shown a sizzle reel for the film, put together from raw footage of what Shaft had filmed up to that point. And from that early footage, the mixture of swagger and laughter seemed pretty balanced.
In one moment, Shaft is mocking his own son for his more modern sensibilities, and in the next hes breaking a mans arm for information. Its something so legit, it was included in the films trailer; and that particular well of humor was something that Jackson also spoke towards during the Shaft set visit.
Complimenting what Samuel L. Jackson said about honoring the character and franchise that John Shaft and his descendants are at the heart of, Jackson discussed how the story of Jessie T. Ushers JJ learning to become a true Shaft plays into the humor of the film. Which, according to Samuel L. Jackson, involves the following:
And to take a kid that [his mother] molded into what he is now: an I.T. graduate whos an FBI agent, that has no real street sense, hes a suburban kid who has the name Shaft. And now hes in an environment that he has to live up to in a specific way. Because of who Richard [Roundtree] was, because of who I am, because of what he needs to be. So when people say, Thats a Shaft, they have to see a Shaft. So hes learning to be a Shaft against everything hes been taught him.
The generation gap in the Shaft family is something thats been played well in the marketing campaign for the film, so at least in that respect, the comedy/action mix looks to really be working. Three generations of complicated men, with no one to understand them but each other and the women in their lives, is something that assuredly lends itself to a fair amount of humor.
And as weve seen in the reactions to the looks at Richard Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jessie T. Usher in action, the fans are ready to see this family team up to solve crime on the streets of any city they choose to hit. If everything else can line up in the constellation of jokes and jabs, this just might be the sleeper summer hit that Warner Bros. is hoping for the film to be.
Shaft opens in theaters on June 14, and if youre interested in more content pertaining to the films release, stay tuned to CinemaBlend as well have more coverage in the coming weeks.
