Who will be the big screen ’s next Sigourney Weaver ? We ’ve had a few years now without any great action motion picture star women , but 2010 could be the year this changes . Here are six picks for the action heroine of tomorrow .
It ’s been a few geezerhood since Warner Bros. Chief Executive Jeff Robinovallegedly said , “ We are no longer doing movies with adult female in the lead , ” in the wake of huge dud star Jodi Foster and Nicole Kidman . And sure as shooting enough , the past few year have been somewhat lighting on female person - led smash hit . But this year , it seems like the foundation is getting position for some killer adult female in the cinema .
Check out the candidates , plus two veteran soldier who are coming back to action - lead position this summer :
Zoe Saldana
Sure Zoe Saldana blew our mind , stand out from bloom to blossom with Jake Sully , praying after she pour down Pandoran pup , and finally battling the big power suit to defend her world . Plus she suffer no fools aboard Star Trek ’s Enterprise as Uhura . But up until now she ’s still been playing second fiddle to Kirk , Spock and James Cameron ’s jungle wilderness . That could be changing — Saldana ’s next celluloid , this Friday ’s The Losers , promises to show us a much deadly side of Zoe . And pending on the films box office success , her cold - full-blood slayer role , Aisha al - Fadhil , could set her up as the next box post heroine .
Olivia Wilde
We ’ve been singing Wilde ’s praises the second we heard she was cast in the Tron sequel . Because who else could kick Sam Flynn ’s ass in a lightcycle subspecies ? She established her grandness as House ’s Thirteen , a character who could easily go fountainhead to steer with the extremely intimidating Hugh Laurie . Now she ’s Quorra , a program in Tron Legacy . And do n’t rent those wedge iron boot fool you , if the glimpses in the trailer are to be believed , she certainly knows how to contrive a hateful disc . Tron Legacy will no doubt be massive , and we ’re banking it will launch her pic life history as a flatware concealment big ass , as well . It may have already , since she ’s been cast to fight off aliens alongside Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in Cowboys and Aliens .
Alice Braga
Alice Braga deliver the goods our eye when she did the hump - bump cutting - cut dance with Jude Law in Repo Men . Who else could make slice spread your pardner while feel around inside his chest aphrodisiacal ? Now she ’s a rifle - tot up smutty ops expert in Robert Rodriguez ’s Predators , name Isabelle . Did we advert she ’s the only woman on the team of men fighting off the exotic foe ? Plus if there ’s one matter Rodriguez like to do , it ’s get behind bad - ass women . We ’re expecting many more gunman - total , machete - swing import from this one .
Chloe Moretz
If they retitled Kick - Ass Hit Girl , we depend it would have had a well opening weekend , based on this actress ’ word of mouth alone . Moretz is by far the ace of that extremist - bloody film . She causes an uproar sticking blades in the backs of New York gangster , as purple - haired vigilante Hit Girl . Plus her filthy little mouth does n’t wound one fleck . To the hater , we say Moretz ’s c - word greeting is the newfangled “ yippee ki yay mother fucker . ” And she ’s not done killing yet . Do n’t draw a blank her next role as the murderous vampire in Let Me In . Moretz ’s on - screen body tally shows no sign of decelerate down .
Isabel Lucas
Still relatively unidentified , or rather be intimate as the girl with the metal tongue from transformer 2 , we were smite with her the minute she started champ on her own branch in the vampiric flick Daybreakers . She ’s young and not afraid to tackle the ridiculous military action - packed purpose that been put before her . Plus her next ringlet is takes - no - shit Erica in the Red Dawn , a film about a “ group of teenager look to save their townspeople from an invasion of Formosan and Russian soldiers . ” And yes , there ’s plenty of death to go round in the original , so lets hope the remaking follows suit for Lucas . Plus if that has n’t convinced you she ’s also starring as the mighty warrior God Athena in Immortals .
Adrianne Palicki
Palicki never quite crossed over from victim to vanquisher her in her role as the pregnant waitress in Legion , being set on by God ’s army of angels , but she come tightlipped . We ’re desire that this extra Red Dawn cast penis get her big break in this film as well , play Toni , who was to begin with played by Jennifer Grey . I do n’t want to cross the ending , but get ’s just say she gets the terminal say as far as how all the action goes down for her character . Wolverines !
Action Star Alumnae Who Can Help Spark The Insurgence:
And here are two women who have been AWOL for a while , but they ’re both establish a comeback this summertime as the stars of action moving-picture show . Maybe they ’ll help show the entrant how it ’s done ?
Angelina Jolie
Angelina is an set up action wedge already , with Tomb Raider and Mr. And Mrs. Smith . But her late motion picture Salt , which was in the beginning written for Tom Cruise , is the first time she ’s starred in an action movie in half a decade . ( She was an awe-inspiring co - star in Wanted . ) Let ’s hope her return to the spy genre proves once and for all that the right female star can channel a slodey motion picture .
Milla Jovovich
There is no doubt Jovovich ’s new Resident vicious moving picture will burn down the house , with outrageous murders , gun fights , and look bitch . Will it be a massive hit ? No — the RE films never are . But what the quality Alice does propose is a bang to the gut of any person that say char ca n’t be action wizard .
