If Zoe Bell is in it, I'm going to be there. Period. Point blank. The Death Proof and The Hateful Eight actress has reunited with Raze director Josh C. Waller for action flick, Camino, and it's already been picked up by XLrator Media for release early next year. Yeah, buddy! The film co-stars, strangely enough, Oscar-nominated director Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes, the upcoming Colossal with Anne Hathaway), and is set in 1985 in the Colombian jungle. Here's the synopsis:
Set in 1985, war photographer Avery Taggert (Bell) has built a solid career with her stark and honest imagery, all the while remaining emotionally distant from her subjects. When she embeds in the jungles of Colombia with a squad of missionaries led by a beloved and charismatic Spaniard known as “El Guero” (Vigalondo), she finds herself in the middle of a conflict as violent as any she’s photographed.
One night she happens upon El Guero committing a heinous atrocity, capturing the vile act on film, an image with the potential to discredit and destroy El Guero. Knowing this brilliant psychopath will employ every tactic at his disposal to destroy that photograph – and the photographer who took it – Avery flees into the harsh jungle with nothing but the camera hanging around her neck to escape from missionaries twisted into violent guerrillas by the madman intent on destroying all enemies.
The film was written by Daniel Noah and co-stars Sheila Vand, Dominic Rains, Francisco Barreiro, Tenoch Huerta, Nancy Gomez, Jason Canela and Kevin Pollak.
Bell is beautiful, a talented actress, a tough-as-nails stuntwoman, and I long for the day when she and Ronda Rousey star in an action flick together. Just as I looked forward to Raze I'll be keeping a close eye out for Camino when it gets a firm release date.
