Michelle Rodriguez To Star In Tomboy

THR is reporting Fast and Furious star Michelle Rodriguez will go under the knife for Tomboy , A Revenger's Tale, the gender-swapping action movie to be directed by Walter Hill. Sigourney Weaver is already on board to also star in the project, being produced by Said Ben Said (Map to the Stars) and Michel Merkt of SBS. The script, written by Hill from a story by Denis Hamill, centers on an ace assassin who is double-crossed by gangsters and falls into the hands of rogue surgeon known as "The Doctor," who turns him into a woman. The hitman (now a hitwoman) sets out for revenge, aided by a nurse named Johnnie, who also has secrets. Rodriguez is to play the hitman while Weaver is the scalpel-wielding doctor when the cameras roll Nov. 9 in Vancouver. The project initially made the rounds at TIFF and had Frieda Pinto involved. Pinto is no longer involved. The Solution Entertainment Group, co-founded by Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel, is handling international sales
