SAMUEL L. RIDES INTO HBO'S 'SUNSET': Jackson to star opposite Tommy Lee Jones in adaptation of Cormac McCarthy play.

       Jones will also direct the project, which features Jackson as a man who saves Jones' character from throwing himself in front of a Harlem subway train. The act begins an exchange of ideologies as the two men from different backgrounds debate the worth of their lives.       

       Production is scheduled to begin next month in New Mexico, according to Variety.       

       Jones and Jackson previously worked together on "Rules of Engagement." Meanwhile, Jackson just wrapped the films "Unthinkable" and "Mother and Child." After he completes "The Sunset Limited," he'll star in "Vengeance: A Love Story."
