Jackie Brown characters to hit big screen again, without Tarantino
Elmore Leonard's The Switch, which first introduced villainous characters Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara, to be adapted for film
It is the novel that first introduced Jackie Brown's Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara, played so memorably by Samuel L Jackson and Robert De Niro in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 film. Now Elmore Leonard's The Switch is to get its own big-screen outing, but without Tarantino in the hotseat.
