Samuel L. Jackson to join Cusack in The Cell

Samuel L. Jackson is teaming up with John Cusack again to bring another Stephen King tale to the big screen.

The actors will co-star in apocalyptic thriller The Cell about a virus spread via a cell phone pulse.

Jackson will play a former soldier in the film, which has been adapted by King from his own book.

The Pulp Fiction star and Cusack last teamed up onscreen in another King story, 1408.

The Cell is set to begin shooting in January (14).
