Kate Hudson to Star in Action Thriller ‘Everly’

Kate Hudson will be making the transition to action star next year when she stars in the new movie “Everly.” Crime Scene Pictures and Anonymous Content announced today that Hudson will be taking on the title role in their new project.

Adam Ripp and Rob Paris, who are financing the movie for Crime Scene Pictures, said:

“When we heard that Kate wanted to make the transition into an action star, we knew we had found our Everly. They physicality and intensity of this role will be transformative for her.”

THR reports that “Everly” will be directed by Joe Lynch. The movie was written by Yale Hannon.

Reuters reports that the movie will take place in a single room. Hudson will play “Everly,” the ex-wife of a mob boss, who has to defend herself from hired hit men. So basically “Home Alone,” but the bad guys will be a lot scarier than Daniel Stern.

Sierra/Affinity will be shopping the project around at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.

Sierra/Affinity CEO Nick Meyer said:

“Joe Lynch’s vision for this film coupled with the talented minds of Adam and Rob provides the plaform for an actress of Kate Hudson’s caliber to make the transition into an action star.”
