PEPPERMINT: Lakeshore Scores ‘Taken’ Helmer Pierre Morel To Direct The Female ‘John Wick’ Revenge Actioner
There’s no question that a film like John Wick has bolstered some really solid action films in the last few years – most notably its sequel and the inbound Atomic Blonde. Such is the hype now surrounding Lakeshore Entertainment who reportedly won a bidding war with seven figures for a new female-centric action thriller in the same vein titled Peppermint.
Peppermint is a revenge story centering on a young mother who, due to circumstances, finds herself with nothing to lose, and is now going to take from her rivals the very life they stole from her.
Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Richard Wright and Eric Reid are producing the film, thus adding to their arsenal of female-driven actioners which already include the Underworld franchise.
