Set Pics and Videos from Steven Soderbergh's KNOCKOUT - Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor and Antonio Banderas

We've got our first look at Steven Soderbergh's next film Knockout. The photo's from the set includes images of MMA fighter Gina Carano, Ewan McGreggor, and Antonio Banderas

This is Gina Carano first film and in it she plays a black ops soldier that is double crossed by a member of her team. Her character, Mallory Kane, goes on a mission to uncover who has set her up to take the fall for a job that goes bad and involves a murder.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this film, Soderbergh seems very excited about it. The guy is a great filmmaker and if anyone can make a bad-ass action-spy thriller, it's him. Here is how he's described the film:

My desire is for it to be a very realistic portrayal of somebody who gets hired, as these people do, by the government, to go and perform certain duties that it would be inappropriate to give to the military. That could be anything from a hostage-grab to surveillance to an actual killing...

A combination of a Bond movie and Point Blank, more on the scale of From Russian With Love than, you know, Quantum of Solace... Something where the characters and the story are as prominent as the action stuff.

The movie also co-starsChanning Tatum, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Michael Angarano and Matthieu Kassovitz.

The film is currently in production, and being shot in Barcelona, Dublin, Ireland and New Mexico. A short clip of the Dublin shoot was released recently and features Carano running in front of a couple SWAT SUV's.

And the running continues...
