James McTeigue's Survivor begins shoot

Production started today in London on Survivor, a thriller starring Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett and Robert Forster.

James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) is directing from a screenplay by Philip Shelby. 

Survivor is a thriller about a State Department employee newly posted to the American embassy in London, where she is given responsibility for stopping terrorists from getting into the US. That puts her in the line of fire: targeted for death, framed for crimes she didn’t commit, discredited and on the run. She must find a way to clear her name and stop a large scale terrorist attack set for New Year’s Eve in New York’s Times Square.  

The producers are Irwin Winkler (The Wolf of Wall Street, Rocky, Goodfellas), Charles Winkler, Boaz Davidson and Matt O’Toole.

Executive producers are Jason Bloom, Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, John Thompson, and Mark Gill. Alex O’Neal is co-producer.
