Milla Jovovich is certainly going down guns blazing as an action heroine as the one-time actress who was one of the queens of action cinema with her Resident Evil franchise is still deploying a lethal skill set in her roles. With that, Jovovich has two films on the horizon in the post-apocalyptic thriller and the Taken style actioner Protector. The former I hear has it that she is hardly in the film, but the latter is definitely Jovovich of old as she is kicking dubious amounts of ass in the recent trailer that hit a while back.
We now have a few cinema posters to reveal for you as Protector is set to hit theaters in March and you can now scroll below to see one ticked off momma bear as Jovovich is looking pissed off and battle ready.
In PROTECTOR, former war hero Nikki’s peaceful life is shattered when her daughter is kidnapped. Thrust into the criminal underworld while hunted by cops and the military, she must fight to rescue her child.
It’s important to note that Protector was helmed by Adrian Grünberg who is responsible for Rambo: Last Blood and say what you will about that film, there is no denying that Stallone was unhinged and violently awesome in it. The supporting cast includes Isabel Myers (Mixed-ish) who plays Jovovich’s daughter Chloe as well as Hollywood staples Matthew Modine and D.B. Sweeney lending some legit Hollywood cred to the film. Bong-Seob Mun penned the script.
Upon viewing the trailer, there is nothing original about the plot as it is basically another Taken rehash with Jovovich taking on Liam Neeson’s role. Hell, it even imitates Grunberg’s Rambo film with the human trafficking element, but when you have a seasoned Hollywood veteran like Matthew Modine basically serving as The Col. Trautman character to Jovovich and having him spew lines about how bad ass she is like something out of a Seagal film as Jovovich is blasting away John Woo style, who the hell cares. Bring it the F on! I’ll be there and welcome back Milla, you were sorely missed.
Protector was set to hit on February 20th but will now see a theatrical run start next month on March 6th!
