Lewis Tan is set to return as Cole in the highly anticipated sequel to Mortal Kombat but the versatile actor and accomplished martial artist already has his eyes set on his next project. To add even more excitement to this article, Tan is teaming up with non other than Underworld’s Seline herself Kate Beckinsale for Lioness which is being directed by James Nunn who is most known for directing Scott Adkins in the One Shot franchise.
Not to be confused with the Paramount Plus military action series of the same name from Taylor Sheridan with Academy Award winner Zoe Saldana, this Lioness features Beckinsale and Tan in a black ops thriller about “an ex-black ops team who reunite to pull off a desperate heist to save the life of their leader’s (Beckinsale) eight-year-old daughter.”
The film is currently filming in the UK and has flown under the radar until now with a cast that includes Rasmus Hardiker, Alice Krige, Bailey Patrick, Tom Bennett, Matt Willis and Roxy Striar. Nunn is directing from a script penned by Dominic Burns’ (Madness In The Method).
Nunn has proven action worthy with several high-octane flicks under his director’s belt including the aforementioned One Shot, it’s follow up One More Shot as well as Eliminators which also starred Adkins as well as Stu Bennett. Beckinsale and Tan are also no strangers to adrenaline on film so this has the makings of being a solid entry for the genre.
