New Details Shared on Gina Carano's New Revenge Thriller Film Project
After Gina Carano was fired from The Mandalorian by Disney, she teamed up with The Daily Wire to develop a film project of her own. At the time of the announcement, all that was revealed was that Carano will develop, produce, and star in the film, but we have some new details to share with you today.
It’s been revealed that Carano will play a traumatized woman “who hires a long-hauler to track down an infamous serial killer.” The movie still doesn’t have a title, but the script for the action thriller is being written by Eric Reed (The Hitcher and Near Dark), and it’s based on his novel White Knuckle.
The story follows “a strong-willed woman who survives an attempt by serial killer-trucker ‘White Knuckle.’ Haunted by her encounter and the cops’ inability to catch her tormentor, she partners with a trucker to end the killer’s reign of terror.”
Sounds like this could be an intense revenge thriller. I’ve enjoyed the films that Carano has made over the years, so this is a film that I’m interested in watching. Carano said in a statement, “I’m completely ignited to be creating this thriller with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend. I feel I am exactly where I want and need to be at this moment in my life; it feels as if I have wings.”
The film is described as being in the vein of Duel, Breakdown, and True Grit. The film will shoot in Tennessee, Utah, and Montana beginning in October. The producers are currently on the hunt for a director.
The Daily Wire said that they will release the movie exclusively in the U.S. to its members, while also making the movie available worldwide.
