Hidden Figures star Taraji P. Henson is going from calculating math problems to subtracting her targets from this mortal coil. She will star in Proud Mary, playing a hired killer whose maternal instinct is awoken by a young man she encounters. Are we sure this isn't a remake of The Professional? Is Luc Besson directing? Christian Swegal and John Stewart Newman wrote the script but so far no director is on board. Paging Mr. Besson, this one's for you. [Variety]
