Boris Kodjoe to Lead Addicted

October 26, 2012

Boris Kodjoe has signed on to play a leading role in Lionsgate's upcoming Addicted, Variety reports. Bille Woodruff (Honey) is attached to direct. An adaptation of the bestselling novel by Zane, the book's story is officially described as follows:

For successful African-American businesswoman Zoe Reynard, finding the pleasure she wants, the way she wants it, is not worth the risk of losing everything she has: marriage to the man she has loved since childhood, a thriving company, three wonderful children. But Zoe feels helpless in the grip of an overpowering addiction...to sex.

Finding a compassionate woman therapist to help her, Zoe finally summons the courage to tell her torrid story, a tale of guilt and desire as shocking as it is compelling. From the sensitive artist with whom she spends stolen hours on rumpled sheets to the rough and violent man who draws her toward destruction,Zoe is a woman desperately searching for fulfillment -- and something darker, deeper, and perhaps deadly. As her life spins out of control and her sexual escapades carry her toward a dangerous choice, Zoe is racing against time to uncover the source of her "fatal attraction" -- as chilling secrets tumble forth from the recesses of a woman's mind, and perilous temptations lead toward a climax that can threaten her sanity, her marriage...and her life.

Kodjoe recently starred in Resident Evil: Retribution and was well known for playing the lead in the short-lived J.J. Abrams television series "Undercovers."
