MICHELLE IN GENDER SWAP THRILLER

American actor Michelle Rodriguez (right) has joined her former Avatar co-star Sigourney Weaver in the gender-reassignment thriller, Tomboy. The 37-year-old Fast and Furious star would play a male assassin, who falls into the hands of a rogue surgeon known as The Doctor, played by Weaver, who turns him into a woman. Rodriguez’s character then seeks revenge on the doctor and his gang, Us Magazine reports. Known for his tough-guy action movies, Walter Hill has penned the film and will be directing it too. The screenplay will be based on a story by novelist Denis Hamill.
