THE RHYTHM SECTION: Paramount Partners On Potential Spy Thriller Franchise With IM Global, EON
Lively plays a woman who is on a path of self-destruction after her family dies in a plane crash — a flight that she was supposed to be on. After being told by a journalist that the crash was an act of terror covered up by intelligence agencies, and then watching that journalist get killed, the woman’s anger awakens a new sense of purpose and she rises to uncover the truth by adapting the identity of an assassin to track down those responsible. The new and lethal Stephanie Patrick is on a mission to fill the void between what she knows and what she is told.
Cameras reportedly start rolling this Fall with previous reports citing locations slated for the U.S. and U.K., as well as Ireland, Spain and Switzerland. (Deadline)
