Olivia Munn has come a long way since her days hawking video games on G4, appearing in acclaimed shows such as The Newsroom and living a nerd fantasy by playing Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. Now she’s about to lead what could be her own action franchise with Replay, a film that is being compared to The Raid and John Wick because of its close-quarters combat.
I mean…set a lower bar, could ya? Those heights are unreachable.
Replay is a sci-fi/action flick from writer/director Jimmy Loweree. Munn plays a woman armed with illegal, bleeding edge tech which she plans to use to reverse time and save her husband who was kidnapped and murdered.
Sounds more like Edge of Tomorrow and Terminator than anything else, right?
Munn will also produce the film with Ethan Erwin, who has tremendously high praise and expectations for his star and director…
“Audiences are going to witness the birth of the next great action star with Olivia Munn in this film. And our director, Jimmy Loweree, is an incredible young filmmaker, whose vision for this movie is going to blow people away,” Erwin said. [THR]
