TV actress Jaimie Alexander has joined the cast of David Marconi’s “Intersection”, beating out the likes of Gemma Arterton and Brooklyn Decker.
Also starring Frank Grillo (“Warrior”), the film is set in Morocco. Playing the wife of Grillo’s character, Alexander will “plot to kill [her husband] with her lover’s help. The plan goes awry when the lover and husband are involved in a car accident on a remote desert road.”
It’s quite the coup for Alexander, who has spent the last few years in either uncredited film roles (“Love and Other Drugs”) or short-lived TV shows (“Kyle XY”). Her big breakout came however in last year’s superhero flick“Thor” opposite Chris Hemsworth, as one of Thor’s warrior friends. She recently wrapped filming on “Last Stand”, an action thriller with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Variety reports both Arterton and Decker “showed interest in the role” and that the film is set to go into production next month.
