Big Name Action Actresses Cast In ‘Danger Girl’ Film
  |  @   |  

Back in April 2010, it was announced that a big-screen adaptation of the Wildstorm comic book series Danger Girl was in the works with Todd Lincoln at the helm and Adrian Askarieh producing.

Apparently, three big name actresses — two of whom are kick-ass action stars — are now attached to star in the film as the three Danger Girls from the series.

Latino Review is reporting that Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, and Sofia Vergara will be taking on these roles.

That is some serious business right there considering the nature of the Danger Girl comic book series, which debuted in 1998 from creators J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell. It’s an action-adventure spy series that revolves around a group of highly intelligent and deadly buxom babes, all of whom have special skills in weaponry, demolitions, treasure-hunting, and more, of the top-secret organization Danger Girl.

The main three Danger Girls have to be able to look gorgeous and be believable as badass action heroines, so casting Milla Jovovich and Kate Beckinsale is a good sign for this film, as they each have had great success as the leads in their own action film franchises (Jovovich in Resident Evil films and Beckinsale in the Underworld films). Sofia Vergara, from the television series Modern Family, has the perfect look to play one of the characters, but her action skills are unproven at this time.

My big fear when the film was first announced was that it would turn into a Charlie’s Angels type offering. Those films are good for what they are, but believable they are not (do you believe Drew Barrymore has any fighting skills? I don’t). Danger Girls is. Plus, it’s more in line with Raiders Of The Lost Ark and James Bond.

LR notes that production company Benderspink is currently shopping around the rights to Danger Girl.

I hope a big studio stags this up real soon and we can finally get to see this awesome comic book hit the big screen.

  1. I’m sorry Eve, but this story is bullshit. This project has no director, producer, writer, or screenplay, and it hasn’t even been picked up for production by a studio. I don’t believe that an actress like Kate Beckinsale is going to commit to a film without knowing these things, and I doubt Jovovich would either. She sure as hell isn’t going to sign to a film without knowing the director and reading the  scripts. Knowing the incredibly sexual nature of this comic book, I also doubt Kate would have any interest in role that would have her running around in outfits that would make her Underworld costume look modest. We makes can wish, but I doubt it. Kate is after all a 38 year old wife and mother. Kate won’t even do nude scenes. All of her nude scenes except for Underworld 2 have had body doubles, and you didn’t see anything in Underworld 2.

    I might also mention that Kate is signed for two more films after Total Recall, which still has more than a week of shooting left.

    Sofia Vergara is also a laughable choice, because she’s not a woman would could pull of action sequences. She would be terrible in a role like this.
