Walter Hill is tackling transgender themes in his next film, albeit in the guise of an action thriller. Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver are on board to star in Tomboy, A Revenger’s Tale

Hill has written the script based on a story by Denis Hamill, which sees a top assassin double-crossed by gangsters and handed over to a rogue surgeon (Weaver) who turns him into a woman. Now a hit woman, she heads out for some vengeance, aided by a nursed named Johnnie who also has secrets. 

It’ll be an interesting role for Rodriguez to tackle and a welcome leading performance give how often she’s been in ensembles recently. She’s taking over the job from Freida Pinto, who was attached a couple of months ago before the film made its initial rounds at the Toronto Film Festival’s market. Hill will start rolling the cameras next month in Vancouver.

Rodriguez, most recently back as Letty for Fast & Furious 7, is filming family drama Milton’s Secret. Weaver was part of the cast for Chappie and will be seen in A Monster Calls and Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters, in which she has a cameo. The latter will be in UK cinemas on July 15.
