BLADE RUNNER 2049 Breakout Sylvia Hoeks Eyed To Play Tara Chace In Ridley Scott's QUEEN AND COUNTRY
We recently brought you the news that Sir Ridley Scott was set to helm an adaptation of Greg Rucka's Eisner Award-winning series of graphic novels for Fox, and now we know who's being lined up to star...
Blade Runner 2049 actress Sylvia Hoeks is reportedly in talks to play the lead role of Tara Chace in Ridley Scott's planned adaptation of Greg Rucka's acclaimed spy comic, Queen And Country.
According to That Hashtag Show, Hoeks is currently the front-runner, although it doesn't sound like anything is set in stone just yet.
Here's how the live-action take on Miss Chace is described in the report:
"A brilliant and emotionally detached woman who was raised by her father in the Scottish wilderness. Chace is recruited out of Cambridge to join MI6. She specifically becomes a “Minder,” a group of three super-elite assassins with a very low life expectancy. After her closest associates are killed and her superiors betray her, she finds herself alone on a mission to take down a terrorist cell in Saudi Arabia."
Back in 2013, X-Men actress Ellen Page was in line to play Chace in an earlier incarnation of this project, but talks have clearly fallen through since then.
Hoeks played fearsome Replicant Luv in Denis Villeneuve's follow-up to Scott's sci-fi classic, and will next be seen in The Girl in the Spider's Web.
