Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has boarded action-thriller Kirot as a prostitute turned hit woman out for revenge, announced producer Ehud Bleiberg in Berlin.

Bleiberg Entertainment will co-produce the feature, with a budget thought to be under $10 million, along with French shingle DPI.

Danny Lerner (Frozen Days) will write and helm the project, set to start lensing Aug. 1 in Europe and Israel.

“It’s a mix between Thelma & Louise and La Femme Nikita, ” said Bleiberg. “It’s a great story about friendship and taking your destiny into your own hands.”

The project sees Kurylenko’s character coerced into becoming a hit woman for a shadowy organization after being imprisoned for working as a prostitute. She escapes from her new employees and joins forces with an abused woman she encounters on the run. Together they embark on a campaign of revenge.

Kurylenko boarded the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace in January.

Bleiberg Entertainment has also picked up international rights to Sundance pic Red, starring Brian Cox and Tom Sizemore, about a recluse who seeks revenge against a group of teenagers who have killed his dog, as well as Jamie Kennedy doc Heckler, which looks at the pressures of media exposure in the celebrity age.
