Hot Fighter Gina Carano To Star In Soderbergh Spy Thriller!!

I am – Hercules!!

This is a movie I’d pay to see!

Gina Carano, the improbably sexy mixed martial arts fighter known to fans of NBC’s “American Gladiators” as Crush, has nabbed the lead role in the “La Femme Nikita”-esque spy thriller “Knockout,” directed by Steven Soderbergh (“The Informant!”) from a screenplay by Lem Dobbs, who previously collaborated with the director on “Kafka” and “The Limey.”

Man, I sure did love “The Limey”!

Variety has the premise:

“Knockout” casts Carano as a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who is given a second chance to use her skills for constructive purposes.

Soderbergh recently wrapped “The Girlfriend Experience,” starring prolific porn star Sasha Grey.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
