Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film Knockout, starring mixed martial arts champion Gina Carano, has been given some new cast members and an updated plot. It is now a straight spy/revenge action flick. Black Ops super soldier Mallory Kane (Carano) is double-crossed and must go find out who did the double-crossing and how best to killerize them dead. Probably with a right cross. Michael Douglas is a government guy, while Michael Fassbender is another Black Ops guy. Ewan McGregor plays a mercenary company CEO that owns the company that Carano worked for. Dennis Quaid is also in the film.
In addition, the MMA hype machine has built up to the point some ding-a-ling is spamming the crap out of blogs that even remotely mention MMA fighters such as Carano. Luckily, they do it so badly Askimet catches every single one of their spam comments. Looks like a spammer got Knocked Out.
