Samuel L. Jackson on Living Through a Real Heist “To take that reality and add a little mythology”

so also within this show it's actually based on a true story and I read that you were actually in Atlanta when the heist happened what does it feel like to now be the black Godfather in this story when you were you know living kind of through this history um you know we have a we have a we have a great thing happening in our culture in that uh the reality is the reality yes there was a fight yes there was a robbery people got stripped naked and stuck in the street and taking all this stuff and then a lot of people start dying so us being us you know the mythology of the robbery got way bigger than the robbery was so you know we start baby got a Coen and and you know na ne they soole her diamond necklace and so and so got shot cuz he was part of it and so and so had nothing to do with it so to be able to take that real and add a little mythology and meat to that mythological bone was a great time for me you know so it was cool that's awesome
