The up and coming English actress Maosie Williams had landed herself a role in new film Heatstroke. From what we see here, this looks to be an entertaining feature and simply a chanced for Williams to put Needle back in its case and take form of another character.
Heatstroke tells the story of a scientist, Paul and his teenage daughter who are on a research expedition in Africa. Not only do they have to be careful and sheer clear of all the roaming animals in the wilderness, when they accidentally stumble upon a pair of murderous Rhino poachers, they find themselves in even more danger than before. It is now down to her father’s girlfriend to evade the killers and protect his daughter, Josie. Directed by Evelyn Purcell Heatstroke stars Stephen Dorff as Paul, Josie’s father and Svetlana Metkina as Tally, his not so into kids girlfriend.
The film also stars Peter Stormare best known for his work with the Coen brothers Fargo and The Big Lebowski. Although it will be nice to see what else Miss Williams is capable of, Heatstroke looks suspiciously like a film jam packed with action and may not give her the breathing space to prove that. Nevertheless, who can turn down a film with a good Safari route?
