Milla Jovovich
Most important news is that when she was announced to be playing the role of a protagonist in a spy film, and here I was, thrilled more than anyone else. Milla Jovovich in a spy film? My favourite action starlet whom I have based several characters on, going for a genre I literally adore to watch. What could be even better to imagine? Do not worry at all, we are getting there. The film is called Survivor, written by Phil Shelby, currently being produced by the Winkler brothers; Charles and Irwin, and being directed by James McTeigue, who previously took the helm on the infamous film adaptation of V for Vendetta, the more recent Ninja Assassin, and the fictitious take on the life of horror writer, Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven. The rest of the cast feature many famous A-List names, such as Emma Thompson, Angela Bassett, Dylan McDermott, and of course... the great James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan, who has been expressing too much interest in returning to the spy film arena, having completed his work on November Man months ago, which is in post-production period. Their roles however, until now, remain unnamed, and their parts are yet to be mentioned aside from Milla Jovovich getting to be playing a character who dragsg herself from being a damsel in distress to a knightess in well-shielded armour. As the plot surfaced online, it tells the following:
A State Department employee newly posted to the American embassy in London is charged with stopping terrorists from getting into the U.S. That puts her right in the line of fire and she is targeted for death and framed for crimes. Discredited, she is forced to go on the run while she tries to clear her name and stop a large-scale terrorist attack set for New Year's Eve in Times Square.It appears this could be a similar film to Angelina Jolie's Salt (2010), where the main character was a double agent, claiming to have been blackmailed by one of the sides, and goes after them to save her own skin and prevent a world-wide chaos. On the other hand, Milla's character doesn't seem to be looking like a traitor, just a framed employee out to prevent a terrorist attack, still interesting on my end.

Shooting on the film began on 20th January 2014 as predicted, in London, with Milla seen to be filming an action scene, escaping the clutches of some man in a very fancy suit, played by Pierce Brosnan. It raises suspicions whether the latter is a villain or just a covert operative chasing the blackmailed woman. What it would be like? We have not been told as of yet. The set will remain located in London for five weeks, and then will be moved to Sofia, Bulgaria, for three weeks. Interesting locations, aren't they?
Milla Jovovich's character is being chased down by someone played by Pierce Brosnan.
It hasn't been revealed when is the motion picture scheduled for its release, but rumours keep telling it will be out sometime in 2015. For further upcoming information on the title, stay tuned.
