MTV News reports that Samuel L. Jackson is teaming with filmmaker Brian Goodman to make The Fallen, a drama based on firefighters.

"We are looking at that and we both would like to work together and we’ll see what happens,” said Goodman.

The film will tell the story of a South Boston fireman who gets hooked on painkillers after suffering injuries saving a woman from fire.

"The script is good and Brian’s a good guy,” said Jackson. “Hopefully, that film will come together and I’ll be able to do it.”
