This is pretty funny as I was just talking to action filmmaker Pierre Morel last week for his new movie The Ambush. During the interview, he mentioned that he was now working on an action-thriller with Underworld franchise star Kate Beckinsale and now we have a title and first look image of her below!

The movie in question is called Canary Black and it stars Beckinsale as an elite operative who must betray all that she knows and loves when she has to rescue her husband, Directed by Morel, the script was penned by Matthew Kennedy (Inheritance). Beckinsale also serves as an executive producer on the movie along with Morel. Filming is now underway.

Official Synopsis:

The film’s plot follows a top CIA operative, Avery Graves (Beckinsale), who is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, she must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis. Per Deadline

Black Canary is being shopped as we speak at the AFM for potential distribution, and I feel that they won’t have a problem selling this one with Beckinsale and Morel involved.
