Samuel L. Jackson
and Tommy Lee Jones will star in HBO Films' 'The Sunset Limited,' based on the play of the same name by eminent Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Cormac McCarthy ('The Road,' 'All the Pretty Horses,' 'The Crossing').

Directed and executive produced by Jones from a script by McCarthy, the film is a searing two-character drama that tells the story of a stranger who saves another man from throwing himself in front of the Sunset Limited, a Harlem subway train.

Secluded in the apartment of the rescuer, the two men from vastly different backgrounds engage in an intense exchange of ideologies as they debate the value of their existence.

This marks the third time Jackson and Jones will have worked together after appearing in 'Rules of Engagement' in 2000.

Jackson is slated to reprise his role as Nick Fury in 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' which Jones is also attached to play Colonel Chester Phillips.

'The Sunset Limited' will debut on HBO in Feb. 2011.
