Bionic Woman lead Michelle Ryan will star opposite Harry Treadaway in Cockneys vs. Zombies, a Brit “zom-com” that begins shooting in London on March 21. Ryan and Treadaway play hapless bank robbers who come up against zombie armageddon. Honor Blackman, best known to U.S. viewers from the 1960s cult show The Avengers, also stars. Matthias Hoene is directing from a script by Torchwood writer James Moran. Optimum Releasing, the UK arm of France’s Studio Canal, has already bagged domestic rights. SC Films International is selling the film internationally. I’m hearing that U.S. distributors are circling Harry’s twin Luke Treadaway’s latest completed film You Instead, Scottish director David Mackenzie’s rock festival rom-com that premiered last weekend at SXSW.


So good to see this lovely young actress get a rebirth. I feared she was ElizabethBerkliedShowgirlzied from that abysmal NBC Bionic Woman series. What is it with NBC and high concept properties? They are total fail in that regard.
Look forward to seeing the fair skinned Ryan in my future.
Actually her possible Hollywood career has broken with the cancel of Bionic Woman. After that she went back to the UK and she didn’t work in the US again until last year, when she was filming the independent film “Girl Walks Into a Bar” in Los Angeles.
The truth is that she is one my favorite actresses so I hope she will get soon another chance to access Hollywood.
More like: Honor Blackman, best known to U.S. viewers as “Pussy Galore” in Goldfinger.
Her Cathy Gale episodes of The Avengers never aired here in the 1960s. It didn’t show up on ABC until 1966 when Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel, replaced Blackman.
Direct to DVD methinks.
I really liked her in that Doctor Who special. Good luck for her!
I totally agree with you. Her character, Lady Christina de Souza could be the perfect companion for the Doctor. It’s a shame that she appeared only in one episode.
