Samuel L Jackson stars opposite Eugene Levy in The Man
Jackson wants to show the comedy on big screens for victims housed in the Houston Astrodome and other shelters.
He said: "We're in the entertainment business so we should entertain these people. It's been a while since they've had something to laugh about."
Jackson plays a policeman who enlists a salesman to join him on a mission.
Jackson said he hoped the film's producers could show the film "to these people in the Astrodome and whatever these shelters are where all these people are".
"At least give them an hour and a half to not think about the place they are in, or the plight they are in," he added. "And, hopefully, we can make them laugh for an hour and a half."
The film's producer Robert N Fried said: "There are logistical issues, ratings issues, but we're going to try to do it."
Comments cut
The official death toll in New Orleans after last week's hurricane stands at 83, but thousands are feared to have died as a result of flooding.
Meanwhile, it is not clear whether performers taking part in Friday's US telethon for hurricane survivors will be allowed to express political views on the US government's response to the disaster.
Last week Kanye West claimed Bush "didn't care" about black people
Sheryl Crow, Jack Nicholson, Rod Stewart and Paul Simon are among the artists due to appear at the charity show.
Some of the stars lined up, including country act the Dixie Chicks, have a history of criticising the Bush administration.
Rapper Kanye West criticised President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina at a televised benefit concert in New York last week.
The comment went out live on the US east coast, but was cut from a taped version seen on the west coast.
Museums damaged
The head of the American Association of Museums has warned that some of the Gulf Coast's cultural sites have been severely damaged.
"We're learning now that the destruction was even greater than we thought," said association president Ed Able.
"What we need most now is skeleton staffs to protect these collections - not just in New Orleans but all along the Gulf Coast."
The AAM reports that sculptures were destroyed at the New Orleans Museum of Art, which has one of the largest glass collections in the US.
The association has posted a list of storm-damaged sites on its website, including the Old Capitol Museum of Mississippi History, in Jackson, Mississippi, which lost part of its roof, resulting in "hundreds" of wet exhibits.
Amerykański aktor Samuel L. Jackson ma zamiar pokazać ofiarom huraganu Katrina film, w którym gra jedną z głównych ról. Jest to komedia pod tytułem The Man. Jackson chce, aby została ona pokazana na telebimach stadionu Astrodome w Houston w Teksasie oraz w wielu innych schroniskach - tam gdzie znajdują się poszkodowani przez żywioł.

Jak powiedział, ''"Pracujemy w showbiznesie, więc powinniśmy rozbawić tych ludzi. Już od dłuższego czasu ci ludzie nie mieli żadnej okazji do śmiechu."'' ''"Dajmy im półtorej godziny na to, aby mogli zapomnieć o miejscu, w którym są, oraz powodach, dla których się tutaj znaleźli"'' - dodał.

Producent filmu, Robert N. Fried orzekł, że co prawda na drodze zrealizowania planu stoją pewne przeszkody, ale postara się wykonać pomysł Samuela L. Jacksona.

Samuel gra w filmie ''The Man'' postać Derricka Vanna - agenta służb specjalnych. Reżyserem tego filmu jest Les Mayfield, zaś autorami scenariusza są Jim Piddock, Margaret Oberman oraz Stephen Carpenter.

Samuel L. Jackson zadebiutował w 1972 roku w filmie Together for Days. Zagrał w ponad 80 filmach, między innymi w ''Książę w Nowym Jorku'', ''Pulp Fiction'', ''xXx'' oraz I i II części ''Gwiezdnych Wojen''. Podkładał także głos jednego z bohaterów filmu animowanego ''Iniemamocni''.

Ofiary Huraganu Katrina przebywają na Astrodome po tym, jak zostali do niego przetransportowani z innego stadionu, nowoorleańskiego Superdome, gdzie tymczasowo czekali na pomoc.
