Female-Led Action Movie TRIGGER WARNING Described as Cross Between RAMBO and JOHN WICK

Deadline reports that Thunder Road Pictures — the company behind movies like The Town and Sicario — has acquired a spec script titled Trigger Warning that's described as a female-led mix between Rambo and another Thunder Road action thriller, John Wick, in which "the reluctant heroine reveals herself in a small town."

A History of Violence writer Josh Olson and The Game scribe John Brancato (who also penned Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation) wrote the script. As the outlet points out, gender-bent twists on traditional plots are en vogue right now with Ghostbusters and the upcoming Ocean's Eight, so this fits in alongside those pretty well. I just hope Ronda Rousey doesn't end up starring in it. I'd love to see someone with some legitimate acting ability take on a role like this (sorry, Ronda).

There aren't any directors or actors attached yet, but it has a potentially interesting premise and certainly has a provocative title, so I imagine this will get some decent attention as long as the filmmakers work hard enough to make sure it's better than direct-to-DVD level material.
