Director Pierre Morel (“Taken”) is back with another action thriller, “Canary Black” for Amazon MGM Studios. Written by Matthew Kennedy (“Inheritance”), the film seems like a straightforward spy thriller about a CIA operative on the run.
“Canary Black,” boasts an all-star cast of Kate Beckinsale (“Underworld”), Rupert Friend (“Hitman: Agent 47”), and the late Ray Stevenson (“Ahsoka”) in one of his final roles. Along with Saffron Burrows (“The Bank Job”), Ben Miles (“Andor”), Goran Kostić (“Taken”), Michael Brandon (“Episodes”), and Charles Nishikawa (“Touch”).
The film centers around top CIA operative, Avery Graves (Beckinsale), who is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, she must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis.
“Canary Black,” will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 24. We’ll keep you posted on updates about the project as they become available. You can check out the first action-packed trailer below:
