I recently came across a dope photo featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, and John David Washington, which got me genuinely excited for what September has in store. While they don’t have one project together they all are leading their own films that are releasing in September.
However remember they are all apart of the Netflix adaptation of The Piano Lesson.
Denzel Washington kicks off September with the release of ‘The Equalizer 3,’ the concluding installment of the trilogy that has redefined our perception of a true superhero – one devoid of superpowers but armed with unwavering determination.

‘The Equalizer 3’ wraps up the action-packed trilogy directed by Antoine Fuqua. Denzel Washington reprises his role as Robert McCall, a retired U.S. Marine and former DIA officer. McCall has relocated to Southern Italy to put his past behind him, but his plans take a sharp turn when he uncovers that his newfound companions are under the sway of the Sicilian Mafia. What ensues is a gripping narrative as McCall revisits his old ways to safeguard his friends.

Amidst the myriad projects arriving this September, it’s the back-to-back releases of John David Washington and Samuel L. Jackson that truly capture our attention. The month concludes with ‘The Creator,’ where John David Washington takes the lead. Additionally, Samuel L. Jackson stars in ‘The Kill Room,’ reuniting with Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction co-star Uma Thurman.
‘The Creator’ transports us to a future world locked in a conflict with advanced artificial intelligence. The story follows Joshua, portrayed by John David Washington, a former special forces agent enlisted to track down and eliminate the elusive Creator, the enigmatic mastermind behind the advanced AI. Joshua’s personal anguish stems from his missing wife, and he embarks on a daring mission with a team of skilled operatives to halt the Creator’s catastrophic plan, only to discover the shocking truth – the Creator is embodied in the form of a young child.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, the movie boasts an ensemble cast including Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Academy Award winner Allison Janney. Edwards and Chris Weitz crafted the screenplay based on an original story.
On the other hand, ‘The Kill Room,’ directed by Nicol Paone and penned by Jonathan Jacobson, revolves around Patrice Capullo (Uma Thurman), an art gallery owner who believes authentic art unveils the artist’s truths. Patrice’s fate intertwines with that of an unconventional pair – hitman Reggie Pitt (Joe Manganiello) and his boss, Gordon Davis (Samuel L. Jackson).
These characters forge an unconventional alliance, using the gallery as a front to launder money. Reggie’s artwork, inspired by his actual hits, unexpectedly propels him to fame within the art scene. The tension escalates as their activities converge with a high-stakes plot to assassinate a Russian oligarch.
The Kill Room also features talents like Maya Hawke, who happens to be Uma Thurman’s real-life daughter. The trailers offer a glimpse into their performances as they navigate intricate webs of intrigue, danger, and unexpected celebrity.
In essence, September promises an exhilarating cinematic ride. Of these three projects, which are you most excited to see?
