Fresh off this year’s Scream VI, Deadline reports today that genre heroine Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) will be starring in the upcoming action-thriller Bella for Paramount Pictures.
Larysa Kondracki is directing the film, which is set in the 1980s!
“Jesse Wigutow is writing based on Jason Markarian’s script,” Deadline notes.
“Set against the backdrop of an unprecedented crime wave that gripped New York City in the 80’s, Bella is a hyper-stylized action thriller about a cop’s daughter who, after her father clings to life following an assassination attempt, goes on a rampage to unearth her father’s assassin and weed out deep-rooted corruption in the New York City Police Department.”
Producer Craig Flores tells the site, “Bella cleverly reinvents the female-lead action genre pairing a sexy and unapologetic rock n’ roll edge with the gritty heightened realism of 80’s New York City. Collaborating with Chad Stahelski and 87Eleven whose talent is singular in bringing unparalleled action films to worldwide audiences is a dream for me, Larysa, and Samara.”
Craig Flores is producing via Bread & Circuses Entertainment and Chad Stahelski (John Wick) is producing through his 87eleven Entertainment.
Alex Young and Jason Spitz are executive producing via 87eleven.
