o HOLLYWOOD REPORT SAMUEL L. JACKSON Believe the "Hype" Samuel L. Jackson ("Die Hard With A Vengeance") will star as a tight promoter in Fox's "THE GREAT WHITE HYPE," a comedy about the world of boxing. Jeff Coldblum ("Hideaway") will co-star as a sportswriter, and John Cusack ("Bullets Over Broadway") is considering a role as a young boxer. Ron Shelton ("White Men Can't Jump") wrote the script; Reginald Hudlin ("House Party") will direct. Jackson will also star in Warner Bros.' "A TIME TO KILL," an adaptation of John Crisham's novel about a black man put on trial for murdering the rednecks who raped his daughter. Matthew McConaughey ("Boys on the Side") is the lead contender forthe role of the defense attorney, and Sandra Bullock ("While You Were Sleeping"), Brenda Fricker ("My Left Foot") and Oliver Piatt ("The Three Musketeers") will co-star. Joel Schumacher ("Batman Forever") will direct. We'll also see Jackson in New Line's remake of "THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU" as the mad doctor's friend and colleague. Moreau will be played by Marlon Brando. Marco Hofschneider ("Europa, Europa") has been cast as M'Ling, Moreau's human/canine manservant (or would that be mandog-servant?). Ron Perlman ("Cronos") will also play a mutant manimal (known as Sayer of the Law), which should come easily to him given his experi- when Paul Revere rides by proclaiming that the British are coming, and all the inn's patrons rush out without paying their bills. Worse still, the British then proceed to burn the inn. Chris Farley ("Tommy Boy") is in negotiations to co-star as Stiller's brother; Danny DeVito ("Junior") will play Benjamin Franklin; and Patricia Arquette ("Ed Wood") is considering a role as a girl raised by wild dogs. (Universal) "BOUND" Jennifer Tilly (recently Oscar-nominated for "Bullets Over Broadway") and Gina Cershon ("Showgirls") will star in this thriller about a female ex-con (Cershon) who falls in love with a Mafia mistress (Tilly). The two team up to swindle the mob out of $2 million. (Distribution is to be set) "MULHOLLAND FALLS" Updatmgthe information provided in the February issue of <strong>Boxoffice</strong>, Nick Nolte ("Jefferson in Paris") will be joined by Chazz Palminteri ("Bullets Over Broadway"), Chris Penn ("Short Cuts") and Michael Madsen ("Wyatt Earp") as "The Hat Squad," an elite crimefighting gang of detectives working for the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1950s. John Malkovich, Treat Williams, Cary Elwes, Melanie Griffith, Andrew McCarthy and Jennifer Connelly round out the all-star cast in this crime drama. (MGM) his obligations, so he has himself cloned, a solution which will no doubt result in multiple complexities. Harold Ramis ("Groundhog Day") will direct this script by Chris Miller, Mary Hale, Lowell Canz and Babaloo Mandel. Principal photography begins in July. (Columbia) "A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE" Hot off the surprise critical and boxoffice success "Bad Boys," actor/comedian Martin Lawrence ("You So Crazy") has signed to star in this comedy about nightclub party promoter Darnell Wright. Lawrence will also helm, marking his feature directorial debut. Principal photography begins this summer, while Lawrence is on hiatus from the Fox television show "Martin." (Savoy) "TWELVE MONKEYS" Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam, who directed "The Fisher King," "Time Bandits" and "Brazil," helms this sci-fi film in which a man from an apocalyptic 21st century (Bruce Willis) travels back in time to the year 1 996 to try to save mankind from its future fate. He meets a psychiatrist, played by Madeleine Stowe ("Blink"), who doesn't know whether to deem him insane or heed his prophetic warnings. Brad Pitt and Christopher Plummer also star. The screenplay was written by David Peoples ("Blade Runner"). (Universal) BRAD PITT Making "Room" BRUCE WILLIS "IVIonl
