Netflix has picked up Close, a female-led action-thriller headed up by Bright and Prometheus actress Noomi Rapace. WestEnd Films developed Close under its WeLove banner, which aims at producing and promoting female-centered projects. Close also stars Sophie Nelisse (The Book Thief), Eoin Macken (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) and Indira Varma (Ellaria Sand on Game of Thrones).
In Close, Noomi Rapace is a counter-intelligence expert who takes a job guarding a bratty young heiress (Nelisse). The two clash at first, but later bond after a foiled kidnapping attempt. Together they must figure out who is responsible for the plot against them. And of course get revenge. Rapace’s character was inspired by real-life bodyguard Jacquie Davis, who acted as a consultant on the film.
