Exclusive: 1883‘s Lamonica Garrett and Martin Sensmeier are the latest additions to the cast of the street racing action-thriller Takeover, led by Migos frontman Quavo, from Trioscope and Quality Films. The pair joins an ensemble which also includes Billy Zane and Serayah, as previously announced.

None of the scenes that Lena Headey filmed for “Thor: Love and Thunder” made the final cut, but that isn’t stopping former representatives of the “Game of Thrones” star from suing her.
Headey’s former agency, Troika, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the actress owes 1.5 million in unpaid commissions (via Variety), including 500,000 from her “Thor: Love and Thunder” salary. The agency is also seeking a 300,000 commission from the film “9 Bullets” and 650,000 for the scrapped Showtime series “Rita.” Headey had signed on to play the titular character on the show, but Showtime decided not to move forward with it after seeing the pilot.
According to court documents, Headey signed with Troika in 2005, when her longtime agent Michael Duff left his position at Lou Carl Associates to join the agency. Troika merged with James Grant Group in 2017, before being acquired by a private equity firm and rebranded as Ymu...

Headey does her best in a dull, cliched slog that is part Tarantino, part Cassavetes, but is not up to either
What a disappointing vehicle this is for Games of Thrones star Lena Headey: a ropey, derivative thriller squandering all her onscreen smoulder and that dangerous smile that, as Cersei Lannister, had them quaking in terror. Here she plays a stripper called Gypsy who hates kids but goes on the run from the mob with an orphan. It’s a film that serves up undercooked chunks of Tarantino with a splat of John Cassavetes’ Gloria on the side.
Nine Bullets begins on the night Gypsy retires from exotic dancing – so just in time for a good perv of her wearing gold nipple covers. Gypsy has written a memoir about her life as a stripper and landed a life-changing publishing deal. But just as she’s about to drive off into a new life,...

Nine Bullets, eh? We’ve all seen this film before. Well, you will have if you like a bit of action and some mindless car chases round the country, followed by some mindless shootings as the protagonists point guns at one another and go bang until there is only one left. All of the tropes!
Including Sam (Dean Scott Vazquez), a young boy who is left orphaned after the local crime syndicate off his father. The latter, of course, just happened to be some sort of an accountant for aforementioned syndicate, until he derelicted his duty. So, he kinda deserved it.
Then there is the friendly stranger, Gypsy (Lena Headey), a woman on her way from trading in a mis-spent life, culminating in burlesque dancing at the local seedy joint, for best-selling authordom.
The latter is, as we have come to expect – and as she admits further down the plot – 'broken'.

As I watched 9 Bullets the plot seemed overly familiar, it wasn’t billed as a remake of anything but it seemed very familiar. Then it hit me, Gloria, a film John Cassavetes made in 1980, and remade by Sidney Lumet in 1999. Both involve a tough woman who has to go on the run with a young boy wanted by the mobsters who killed his parents. In Gloria he has a book with incriminating information, in this film, it’s a laptop. In both films, the mob boss is her ex and as a name, Gypsy isn’t that far from Gloria either.
I wasn’t surprised to see that it was one of a slew of films writer/director Gigi Gaston cited as an influence on 9 Bullets.
