Here is your first look at Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor and Antonio Banderas (and his crazy new beard) in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming spy-thriller “Knockout.”
The film is the feature-debut of former Mixed Martial Arts champion Carano and will see her play a black ops specialist who goes on the run once she’s been double crossed and framed by her own teammates overseas. From there she goes about trying to make her way back to the U.S. to protect her family, and exact revenge on those that have betrayed her.
Co-starring in the picture are the likes of Channing Tatum, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Michael Angarano and Matthieu Kassovitz.
Production is currently taking place in Barcelona having already shot in Dublin, Ireland and before shifting to New Mexico (the film’s three central locations). A short clip of the Dublin shoot was also unveiled at a Carano fan site, and features Carano on the run from authorities and SWAT teams. Blink and you’ll miss her but she’s there.
Good stuff. I really hope she can act! If she does a decent job and they market this movie well, Gina will become the next Jennifer Garner/Milla Jovich/Angelina Jolie of action flicks…
You guys really like following Soderbergh eh?
