Milla Jovovich trades guns and knives for a poleIn real life, she's an actress, supermodel, fashion designer and singer. On screen, she's played Joan of Arc,
a genetically enhanced zombie-killer,
and a Fifth Element.
What challenge could there possibly be left to tackle? In what could be her ticket to Oscar gold (the Academy loves women who work in the erotic arts, right?), Milla Jovovich has been tapped to play an exotic dancer in the upcoming film Keep Coming Back. The movie is about a "sheltered young man" who falls in love with an alcoholic former stripper and joins Alcoholics Anonymous in order to be close to her. The comedy — and thank god it's a comedy — will be the directorial debut of actor William H. Macy, who also stars in the film along with Steve Buscemi. The part of the sheltered (but committed) young man has not yet been cast. If you're already hankering for a fresh dose of Milla, she has several other films in post-production that should be hitting theaters well in advance of Keep Coming Back. In The 4th Kind, she plays the lead in a fact-based film about a string of disappearances in an Alaskan town amidst signs of a federal cover-up. (There's no word on whether or not the film is set during Sarah Palin's term as Governor.) I'm guessing that the title refers to what ufologists call a "Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind," in which a human is abducted by a UFO or its occupants. IMDB.com reports that it will be released in 2009. She's also starring in A Perfect Getaway, written and directed by David Twohy, the guy who made Radha Mitchell an action star in Pitch Black. In Getaway, Jovovich and Steve Zahn play honeymooners in Hawaii who learn that they're being stalked by a couple of murderers. Getaway is set to be released in March 2009. Both The 4th Kind and A Perfect Getaway sound like they will offer Jovovich plenty of opportunities to wield guns and knives, run people down with motorcycles and crack a few skulls in hand-to-hand combat all while wearing skimpy little leather outfits. It's a good thing that she gets that out of her system before Keep Coming Back, because I'm pretty sure that AA doesn't allow any of that during meetings. Submitted by on November 7, 2008 - 4:00pm. |

Milla is awesome
I'd normally roll my eyes at that premise, but that lineup totally sells me: Milla, William H and the Buscemi! I'll be seeing it.
Hmmm
Sounds good
All three movies sound pretty interesting. Can't guarantee I'll see them all but if I like the trailers I might go ahead and give them a shot. Hopefully Keep Coming Back won't disappoint.

LOVE milla!
totally psyched for these.
i remember listening to the album she made when she was like 18 on repeat for all of high school; if you havent heard any of it, it's freaking fantastic. a bad-ass brunette with a brain and a great voice? could she be anymore perfect?? (oh wait, i guess she could like girls...)
Fifth Element is my
Fifth Element is my favorite movie of all time! I love Milla in that. "Leeloo multipass!" :D
Her upcoming projects sound great and I'm sure I'll check out most of them, but my favorite Milla roles are Resident Evil and the forementioned Fifth Element.
Liitle freaked out
Little freaked out I have to say, coz I swear to god I watched Resident Evil: Extinction last night and then this article pops up.
I have zombie fear :( it's quite bad.
But I love Milla. Have done since I saw The fifth element for the first time. That film just rocks my stripey socks lol.

Okey I loved her in all the Resident Evil movies, in Joan of Arc, in The Fifth Element... Is there a Movie I've not loved her?? don't think so.
Well Milla with guns are always hot:P but it should be intresting to see her do something new, and it's good it's a comedy otherwise it sounds VERY cheezy of an idea...
Probably gonna check out most of the new ones..
the true MJ!
Oh Milla, I absolutely worship the ground you run on in your combat boots.
Although Ultraviolet made it into the final three of my 'worst-movies-EVER-watched-(and-lived-to-tell-the-tale)' charts, I will either dutifully show up at the cinema or rent the DVDs for a night of hot (and hopefully not trash).
i heard she was doing
i heard she was doing another resident evil?
or that could have just been me wishing for it so hard i started believing it was true
those films OWN
i can't say i've seen her in anything else though
OH
except zoolander hahahah
Jovovich
I'd like to see these, I can't wait. Well, I can wait, but you know...it's Milla(lol).
I remember Milla accepting the Best Science Fiction Movie or TV Show award at the '08 Scream Awards. She laughed because she cursed somewhere during her thanks(hehe). Her laugh gets me, she's so cute(lol).
