Michael Vartan is back on familiar Alias territory for Colombiana, playing the boyfriend of a kick-ass and rather deadly smokin' hot female. He'll play the other half to Zoe Saldana's assassin in the Luc Besson-produced, Olivier Megaton directed thriller.
The story has Saldana playing a woman whose parents were murdered by gangsters when she was a child. She works for her uncle as a hitman, in the hope that one day she'll find the person responsible. Vartan plays her artist boyfriend, who's apparently her only link to normality.
Shooting starts soon in Chicago, Mexico City and New Orleans, for a release in September 2011. Besson wrote the script with Robert Mark Kamen, so expect something in the vein of their previous collaborations for The Transporter, Taken and The Fifth Element.
