No one probably knew that they had actually seen Zoe Bell before she played herself in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, but in fact if you ever watched “Xena: The Warrior Princess” (don’t worry you don’t have to admit it) or either of Tarantino’s Kill Bill flicks then you had seen Zoe. Bell was the double for Lucy Lawless in “Xena” and Uma Thurman’s stunt double in both Kill Bill films.
Now Zoe can officially say she is a stuntwoman-turned-actress as she is set to star in an untitled action adventure from Marco Weber’s Senator Entertainment.
Bell will play a U.S. soldier adrift after returning home from a tour of duty in Iraq who decides to help a young girl in trouble. The project is based on an original idea from Weber, who also will produce, and screenwriter Sarah Thorpe (Twisted).
In Jackie Chan-like flair she told The Hollywood Reporter, “…one thing is certain: I will be doing all my own stunts on the film.”
