NZ director and WIFT member Roseanne Liang is in preparation for a new film starring some actors you may have never heard of, Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry. See the full interview from RNZ here.
“It was a confluence of really some really amazing events. When a short action movie that I made called Do No Harm screened in Sundance and SXSW that year, I signed with one of the biggest agencies in America called WME. Then my former agent left WME to become Halle [Berry]’s business partner. She always remembered me, and when this project came across their desk, they reached out to me. I talked to both of these incredible women [Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry.] And we decided that we'd step out and make this this movie together.
It's a big studio movie, La Femme Nikita meets Mission Impossible. It’s very much a modern movie about gender equality, women and feminism, but also just a great, muscular action movie that happens to star two of the most incredible female action stars of our time."
We wish you the best Roseanne, and we look forward to watching this.
