Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson worked together recently on Kong: Skull Island (you'll be able to see more of that when the trailer arrives this week). Now Jackson will find out what it's like to be directed by Larson, as he's joined the cast of her comedy Unicorn Store.

Jackson is joining Joan Cusack and Bradley Whitford in the movie, which was written by Samantha McIntyre. In addition to making her full-length directorial debut (she's worked on shorts in the past), Larson will play a young woman named Kit whose life issues means she has to move back in with her parents. But then she receives a mysterious invitation to a strange-sounding store that will challenge her ideas about what it means to grow up.

Larson is cranking the cameras now in Los Angeles and the film should be out next year. As for Skull Island, that will arrive on our screens on 10 March next year. Larson has also worked on The Glass Castle, which has yet to lock in a confirmed release date, but she'll be back on our screens in Ben Wheatley's Free Fire, due 31 March.
