Like most people, I was introduced to Famke Janssen when she played the sexy, powerful legged, awesomely named Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye
. She was always my character of choice when I played the Nintendo 64 video game. She's gone on to star in a number of films I hold dear, most as Jean Gray in the X-men
trilogy. I've always had a special place for her role as a romantically confused journalist opposite Jon Favreau in Love & Sex
. While her career has shifted a little towards TV lately, it appears she's also been making a bold behind the camera, with her directorial debut right around the corner.Bringing Up Bobby is her writing/directing debut, and it stars Milla Jojovich as a Ukranian con artist who goes back home to Oklahoma with her son(Spencer List) to start a new life. As is always the case with movies like this, her criminal past isn't too far behind and soon catches up with her. Bill Pullman, Marcia Cross, and Rory Cochrane co-star. No release date is set as there aren't any distributors on board, but you can check out the trailer below...
