I've often said Josh Duhamel can go to hell

Once again, LatinoReview (specifically the lovely Genevieve aka Scarletscribe) has dropped the knowledge on our faces. In this time, the face-dropped knowledge involves Mr. Samuel L Jackson starring alongside Josh Duhamel, presumably because Jackson's career is actually some bizarre game of co-star bingo and Duhamel represents the final corner square. Also, Duhamel is a liar. How do I know? Because like the douche-hammer Brett Favre, he pronounces his name "Doo-Mall" and not "Doo-ham-ul" like it should be. Why does he do this? I don't know, because it's what convinced the perma-tanned, semi-dude-looking Fergie to shag him? Seriously, she frightens me. Okay, we have gotten waaaay off topic here. That topic should be about how the two aforementioned stars (Jackson and Duhamel, not Fergie, who is not a star but a physical curiosity) are going to appear in Sympathy for the Devil. I'm going to reprint the summation that LatinoReview reprinted because it is effin' awesome.
Caught in the no-man’s land between Saturday night sin and Sunday morning redemption, Louisiana lawman Harlan Stark (Josh Duhamel) finds that his intervention into a spectacular crime –the bold attempt to assassinate a charismatic preacher -- soon escalates into a cosmic confrontation between Heaven and Hell, where angels are warriors as dangerous as demons. Harlan and his loyal partner Jesse (Samuel L. Jackson) stand at the fulcrum between vengeful good and devious evil, with neither side showing anything like mercy. Harlan must find the courage to break the cycle, and reject fanatical revenge –yet he too finds himself transformed. Outrageous, violent and subversive, this new adventure in horror from the director of Remember the Titans is sure to be controversial. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL blends the seductive sensuality of Angel Heart, the genre-bending audacity of Pulp Fiction and the relentless intensity of The Omen when all hell breaks loose in New Orleans and the sacred becomes as deadly as the profane.
Does it sound cool? Sure does. Does it sound insane? Yep. Does it have some of the funniest descriptions I've ever heard? Oh yeah. Howsabout "stand at the fulcrum between vengeful good and devious evil" or "Outrageous, violent and subversive, this new adventure in horror from the director of Remember the Titans is sure to be controversial." When I think Remember the Titans, I think "outrageous and violent." Also, it name dropped Angel Heart. ANGEL HEART??!?!?! Sign me up if for no other reason than this is the best synopsis in history, whether accurate or not. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I know the theme song for the film. Oh, no, not my favorite Rolling Stones song; it's going to be something by Creed.
