EXCLUSIVE: Millennium Films has set Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Emma Thompson and Angela Bassett to star in Survivor, a thriller that James McTeigue will direct starting January 20 in London. Charles Winkler and Irwin Winkler are producing. Phil Shelby wrote the script.
Jovovich plays a State Department employee newly posted to the American embassy in London, where she is charged with stopping terrorists from getting into the U.S. That puts her right in the line of fire and she is targeted for death and framed for crimes. Discredited, she is forced to go on the run while she tries to clear her name and stop a large-scale terrorist attack set for New Year’s Eve in Times Square.
I actually like that B movies are making a comeback. They’re fun.
fantastiiiiiiiiiic!!!
great movie!!!!
PLEASE, give the “discredited, disowned, intelligence agency operative on the run trying to clear his/her name while saving the world from terrorism” SCHTICK a REST!!
EVERYONE has done this for decades, over and over. The Spy coming in from the Cold, or leaving in the cold, or running in the cold …. a constantly regurgitated theme … geeze, even Sandra Bullock and Dustin Hoffman got their obligatory turns in this genre.
Don’t green lighters have any other ideas they’d like to see explored?
If you sift through thousands of elevator pitches over the past decades that copy already made movies this one is distressingly right down the line of all those, like a hackneyed template:

YAWNNNN…
They should call it “Salt with less sodium”.
James McTeague and Millenium have put together an interesting cast.
This looks to be an exciting film. Love Angela Bassett and Emma Thompson. Both fantastic movie stars and amongst the best actresses we have today.
