Kate Beckinsale Embraces Her Rage in Cool Trailer for the Action Film JOLT
Kate Beckinsale is back kicking some serious ass in the first trailer for Amazon Studios’ upcoming action film Jolt. It’s great to see Beckinsale in a badass role like this again! The film looks like a fun flick and it also boasts a supporting cast that includes Bobby Cannavale, Jai Courtney, Laverne Cox, David Bradley, Ori Pfeffer, with Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci.
In the film, “Lindy is a beautiful, sardonically-funny woman with a painful secret: Due to a lifelong, rare neurological disorder, she experiences sporadic rage-filled, murderous impulses that can only be stopped when she shocks herself with a special electrode device. Unable to find love and connection in a world that fears her bizarre condition, she finally trusts a man long enough to fall in love, only to find him murdered the next day. Heartbroken and enraged, she embarks on a revenge-filled mission to find his killer, while also being pursued by the police as the crime's prime suspect.”
As you’ll see in the trailer, the movie has a very Crank kind of vibe, and it looks like Beckinsale gives a wicked fun performance. I’m all in!
Jolt is directed by Tanya Wexler (Finding North, Ball in the House, Hysteria, and Buffaloed) from a script written by Scott Wascha. The movie will debut on Prime Video on July 23rd, 2021.
