Noomi Rapace is joining the club…

The 41-year-old half-Spanish actress has been quietly filming action film Assassin Club in Italy opposite Henry Golding, Sam Neill and Suicide Squad breakout Daniela Melchior.

EuropaCorp veteran Camille Delamarre is directing the film, which has just wrapped shooting in Turin, Italy.

Assassin Club takes place in the world of international spies and elite assassins. In this world of contract killers, Morgan Gaines (Golding) is the best of the best. When Morgan is hired to kill six people around the world, he soon discovers all the targets are also assassins unknowingly hired to kill each other.

Rapace plays Falk, the only assassin with skills to match his own. Under the guidance of his mentor Jonathan Caldwell (Neill), Morgan must defeat Falk and the other assassins to keep himself and his girlfriend Sophie (Melchior) alive.

The project is produced and financed by Film Bridge International (FBI) with additional funding provided by 828 Media Capital.

“Assassin Club delivers the cinematic experience audiences love,” said Ellen Wander, CEO of Film Bridge International, which is repping sales.

Wander added: “Our director Camille Delamarre came to this project with an inspired vision, and we look forward to his remarkable talents in the editing room. When the film is completed, it will be a thrilling ride for audiences throughout the world.

Rapace’s previous credits include the Swedish film adaptations of the Millennium series: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.

Her other credits include Daisy Diamond, Beyond, The Monitor, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Prometheus, Dead Man Down, Child 44, and the seven lead roles in What Happened to Monday.

Noomi Rapace is ready to show her brilliance on the big screen once again…

The 34-year-old half-Spanish actress is in talks to star opposite Will Smith in Brilliance, the adaptation of the Marcus Sakey novel being made by Legendary Entertainment.

Directed by Julius Onah and written by David Koepp, the film takes place in a world where a minority set of people are born with extraordinary abilities and are called “brilliants.” A panic sets in among the human majority, bringing the world to a civil war, which is exactly what a nefarious faction wants.

Smith is playing a federal agent, a brilliant with great hunting gifts who is drafted to hunt down a terrorist, another such brilliant who intends to start the civil war.

Rapace will portray a tattooed and pierced brilliant that is identified as a terrorist by the government.

Rapace rose to acclaim as the tough and tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movies. She was last seen in Dead Man Down with Colin Farrell and has the crime thriller Child 44, with Tom Hardy and Joel Kinnaman, in the can.

Noomi Rapace is seeking revenge … with a little help from Colin Farrell…

The 33-year-old half-Spanish actress and Prometheus star and Farrell get caught in the crosshairs of revenge in Dead Man Down, the new film from Niels Arden Oplev, the man behind Rapace’s critically aclaimed 2009 Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

In Dead Man Down, Rapace’s character Beatrice becomes a victim to an underground crime lord in New York City, Alphonse Hoyt, played by Terrence Howard.

It so happens Victor is also seeking to avenge the death of his wife and daughter at the hands of his boss. As the film progresses, Victor and Beatrice’s intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis.

With a supporting cast that includes Dominic Cooper, Raw Leiba, Isabelle Huppert and Puerto Rican actor Franky G, the R-rated movie is set for a March 8 release in the U.S.

It appears that Noomi Rapace will be heading back to outer space…

20th Century Fox has announced that Ridley Scott’s science fiction thriller Prometheus, which stars the 32-year-old half-Spanish actress, will be getting a sequel.

The studio confirms that the follow-up to the groundbreaking mythology film is expected to be released sometime in 2014 or 2015, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s believed that the director Scott and 20th Century Fox are actively pushing ahead with the untitled Prometheus sequel and have even sealed deals with Rapace, who will appear in Dead Man Down next April, as well as Michael Fassbender to return to the ensemble cast.

“Ridley is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can’t rush it,” Emma Watts, Fox president of production, says of the sequel to the $130 million-costing sci-fi flick, which has grossed a solid $303 million internationally since its release on June 8.
