Exclusive Clip: Milla Jovovich stars in action thriller Protector

Magenta Light Studios will be giving Protector, the latest action thriller from director Adrian Grünberg, a theatrical release on March 6 – and with screenings just hours away, we’re proud to share a pair of EXCLUSIVE clips from the film, which stars Milla Jovovich. Check them out in the embed above! You won’t see any explosive action in the first clip, but you do get the emotional intensity of a mom-and-daughter conversation. And make sure to keep watching through to the second clip, which we’re calling “Milla Jovovich Destroys the Butcher!”

Cast and Synopsis

Scripted by Bong-Seob Mun, Protector has the following synopsis: Nikki (Milla Jovovich), a veteran war hero, thought she’d left her violent past behind for a peaceful life with her daughter, Chloe – until Chloe is kidnapped by a human trafficking ring that forces Nikki into the city’s criminal underworld on a relentless pursuit. As she tears through a ruthless crime syndicate using her military training, Nikki draws the attention of both the police and the military, shooting her to the top of the most wanted list. In this high-stakes race against time, Nikki must use the violent skills she thought she left behind to save her daughter.

Jovovich is joined in the cast by Isabel Myers, Manny Montana, Michael Stahl-David, Lydia Hull, D.B. Sweeney, Chase E. Kim, Don Harvey, Gabriel Sloyer, Texas Battle, Arica Himmel, and Matthew Modine.

Jovovich produced the film alongside her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson. Other producers on the project include Matthew Helderman, Ford Corbett, Todd Lundbohm, George Furla, Arianne Fraser, Shaun Sanghani, Kenneth Kim, Ho-Sung Pak, Bob Yari, Bang Ok Joo, Ceasar Richbow, and writer Bong-Seob Mun.

Grünberg

Grünberg has previously brought us Mel Gibson taking on criminals while imprisoned in Mexico (in Get the Gringo), Sylvester Stallone – playing one of his most iconic characters – taking on a human-trafficking Mexican cartel (in Rambo: Last Blood), and Josh Lucas taking on a megalodon off the coast of Mexico (in The Black Demon). It’s not clear if this one will involve anyone going to Mexico, but the trailer does confirm that Jovovich’s character lives in New Mexico – so, she’s close.
