Hollywood is really trying to make Karen Gillan work… and I’m very happy with that, as I think she’s great. Her newest starring role is the action-packed GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE, which looks like a mix between JOHN WICK and SUCKER PUNCH, and sports a killer cast. Gillan plays the daughter of Lena Headey’s character, and the supporting cast includes Emily Coleman, Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino and Paul Giamatti. Navot Papushado directs and co-writes with Ehud Lavski. Check out the intense new trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Sam (Karen Gillan) was only 12 years old when her mother Scarlet (Lena Headey), an elite assassin, was forced to abandon her. Sam was raised by The Firm, the ruthless crime syndicate her mother worked for. Now, 15 years later, Sam has followed in her mother’s footsteps and grown into a fierce hit-woman. She uses her “talents” to clean up The Firm’s most dangerous messes. She’s as efficient as she is loyal.
But when a high-risk job goes wrong, Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent 8-year-old girl – Emily (Chloe Coleman). With a target on her back, Sam has only one chance to survive: Reunite with her mother and her lethal associates: The Librarians (Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino). These three generations of women must now learn to trust each other, stand up to The Firm and their army of henchmen, and raise hell against those who could take everything from them.
