Milla Jovovich To Lead New Action Thriller Protector

Resident Evil actress Milla Jovovich is set to lead the new action thriller Protector, with Rambo: Last Blood filmmaker Adrian Grünberg set to direct from a screenplay written by Bong-Seeb Mun. 

Jovovich is best known for starring in the Resident Evil live-action film series, having debuted as Alice in the 2002 feature. She went on to reprise the role in the following Resident Evil installments, including Apocalypse (2004), Extinction (2007), Afterlife (2010), Retribution (2012), and The Final Chapter (2016). 

What is Protector about?

Having played Alice in all six high-octane Resident Evil movies, Jovovich is yet again starring in an action film, this time as a mother on a quest to save her daughter from kidnappers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Protector — which the outlet described as a “Taken-esque action thriller” — is being pitched to buyers at this year’s American Film Market by Highland Film.  

Per the plot description (via THR), Protector will see Jovovich playing Nikki, “a former war hero who believed she had left her violent past behind to raise her daughter, Chloe, in peace. When she wakes up in an abandoned factory and learns that Chloe has been kidnapped, Nikki has to navigate the city’s criminal underworld, pursued by both the cops and the military, to get her daughter back.”

Production on Protector is scheduled to begin this winter in New Mexico. 

Besides the Resident Evil film franchise, Jovovich has also starred in a handful of action features including Kuffs, The Fifth Element, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Ultraviolet, The Three Musketeers, The Rookies, and Monster Hunter. 

The actress can next be seen in World Breaker opposite Luke Evans and in In the Lost Lands directed by Resident Evil filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson. Jovovich’s other credits include Two Moon Junction, Return to the Blue Lagoon, Chaplin, Dazed and Confused, The Million Dollar Hotel, Zoolander, A Perfect Getaway, Lucky Trouble, Hellboy, and Breathe.
