Information

Milla Jovovich is starring in the sci-fi action thriller Hummingbird, with her husband Paul W.S. Anderson now revising the original script draft written by John McClain. The project marks the first creative collaboration for Jovivich and Anderson since they completed their run on the Resident Evil movie franchise with last year’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Anderson is currently developing another video game adaptation in the form of Monster Hunter, which is also positioned to serve as his first post-Resident Evil directorial effort.

Hummingbird is being helmed by directing duo Fredrik Akerström and Marcus Kryler, who are no strangers to video game fare themselves – having previously worked on the cinematic elements of Battlefield 1. The Swedish filmmaking pair also directed the 2013 short sci-fi/horror film Reset, and became attached to helm a feature-length version of their short for Paramount back in January. It appears that Hummingbird is next for Akerström and Kryler on their to-do list though, seeing as the project has already entered the casting stage of development.

Deadline is reporting that Jovovich is now set to star in Hummingbird, with filming on the project scheduled to get underway this summer. She replaces Olivia Munn as the movie’s headliner, after Munn previously took the spot vacated by Zoe Saldana (who had to pass on the project due to a scheduling conflict with the now in production Avatar sequels). However, Jovovich’s casting is expected to stick, as further evidenced by Anderson’s involvement as screenwriter.
