Saban Films has acquired North American rights to Tomboy, a Revenger’s Tale, starring Fast and the Furious and Resident Evil star Michelle Rodriguez.
Walter Hill’s gender-swapping action movie also stars Anthony LaPaglia and Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Aliens, Ghostbusters).
“The script, written by Hill from a story by Denis Hamill, centers on an ace assassin who is double-crossed by gangsters and falls into the hands of rogue surgeon known as “The Doctor,” who turns him into a woman. The hitman (now a hitwoman) sets out for revenge, aided by a nurse named Johnnie, who also has secrets.”
Rodriguez is to play the hitman while Weaver is the scalpel-wielding doctor.
