This is our first look at Milla Jovovich in her upcoming action film Breathe, which comes from the producers who brought us John Wick. The film also stars Jennifer Hudson, Sam Worthington, Quvenzhané Wallis and Common.
The story follows “a mother named Maya (Hudson) and her daughter (Wallis) who are forced to live underground after Earth is made uninhabitable due to a lack of oxygen. Only short trips to the surface are made possible by a state-of-art oxygen suit made by Maya’s husband Darius (Common), whom she presumes to be dead. When a mysterious couple arrives claiming to know Darius and his fate, Maya tentatively agrees to let them into their bunker but are they all they appear to be?”
Jovovich tends to make fun action films, and this sounds like it’ll be a great project for her. I’m just happy to see that she’s actually making a film that’s not directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. This movie is being directed by Stefon Bristol, and the script is from the Black List of best-unproduced screenplays, which was written by Doug Simon (Demonic). The film is now in post-production.
Thunder Road Films’ Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee are producing with Capstone’s Christian Mercuri. Capstone’s Ruzanna Kegeyan executive produces alongside David Haring, Esther Hornstein and Will Flynn.
