LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Actress Kate Beckinsale has signed to star in the action thriller "Whiteout."
Based on Greg Rucka’s comic book miniseries, "Whiteout" revolves around a lone U.S. marshal who is investigating the Antarctica’s first murder. With only three days until winter, she must solve the crime before the continent is plunged into darkness and she is stranded with the killer.
Dominic Sena will direct. Principal photography on "Whiteout" is scheduled to begin March 5 in Montreal. Warner Bros. will distribute for producer Joel Silver’s Dark Castle Entertainment.
Beckinsale last year starred in the Adam Sandler comedy "Click" and the horror sequel "Underworld: Evolution." Her upcoming movies include "Snow Angels," a drama that screened at January’s Sundance Film Festival, and "Vacancy," which is set for release this year.
Sena directed the Silver-produced "Swordfish" as well as 2000’s "Gone in Sixty Seconds."
