Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a Terminator in Three Clips from Netflix’s Action-Thriller ‘Kate’
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the title character in Netflix‘s upcoming action-thriller Kate, a female assassin who has just 24 hours to get vengeance on her murderer before she dies.
Kate will premiere on Netflix September 10, and the Rated “R” movie has debuted three official clips today. You’ll find them down below, with the first establishing the dynamic between Kate and a teenager she befriends in the movie, the second introducing Woody Harrelson‘s character, and the third giving us a small taste of a fight sequence from the film.
“Meticulous and preternaturally skilled, Kate is the perfect specimen of a finely tuned assassin at the height of her game. But when she uncharacteristically blows an assignment targeting a member of the yakuza in Tokyo, she quickly discovers she’s been poisoned, a brutally slow execution that gives her less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her killers. As her body swiftly deteriorates, Kate forms an unlikely bond with the teenage daughter of one of her past victims. Kate follows a burned assassin’s furious pursuit of one last self-appointed job.”
Woody Harrelson, Miku Martineau, Tadanobu Asano, Michiel Huisman, and Jun Kunimura also star in Kate, directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman: Winter’s War).
Umair Aleem wrote the script.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
