“Ass”! She puts the “ass” in Assassin!
Sorry, screwed up my own tasteless headline.
Regardless, it’s undeniable that while Zoe Saldana may have stirred some weirdo fantasies as a nine-foot tall blue pixely cat woman, she’s looking her best in human flesh and blood, carrying huge artillery. This looks like it will make a nice double feature with Haywire, no?
Check out the assembled stills released from the film below, all put together by the always-horny Jo’s at JoBlo. Many of them can be found in high-res over there, but come back and let us know (twitter, boards, or comments!) if you have any interest in this new Luc Besson/Olivier Megaton flick that has an assassin out for revenge against the assholes that killed her folks in front of her as a child. I feel like this would have made a lot more folks happy had Besson tweaked it a touch, cast Natalie Portman and made it a de facto Professional sequel, but Zoe looks ready to make her own unique splash to me.

Chicks and guns!…..And firetrucks…..and hookers…..and beer…….
This sounds like good, R-rated fun! Oh wait, its PG13. BLEH
I wonder if by any chance she’s a lone operator, emotionally distant, with few friends but a loving cat/dog…perhaps she enjoys music played on old record players, fine wine, or has an interesting passion for art.
Perhaps she has a collection of Kirk/Spock gay erotica fan fiction, if that’s not too meta.
I’m more for Zoe Kravitz than Zoe Saldana, personally.
Chicks kicking ass as a genre is so ridiculously overdone. It’s become as boring and cliche as it is preposterous. If we’re talking gunplay, explosions, climbing stuff, and whatnot, sure there’s not much the best trained, most talented women can’t do as well the best trained, most talented men. But the hand to hand combat beat downs are sillier than the silliest Hong Kong martial arts flick. Very few women, no matter how well they might be able to fight other women, can put the hurt on a physically able man with even a bit of fighting experience. When movies are explicitly set in a world where the impossible is possible, fine, fantasy is fantasy. But now we’re getting all these gritty, low-fi kick ass chick movies and TV shows that just go beyond the point that I can suspend disbelief. Then again, I’d let Zoe Saldana kick my ass any day…
