Production has wrapped on director Meir Zarchi’s I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu, a sequel to his controversial 1978 revenge-thriller Day of the Woman—re-released as I Spit On Your Grave in 1980. Camille Keaton reprises her role as rape-victim-turned-ball-breaker Jennifer Hills.
Zarchi said:
I always envisioned Camille Keaton returning to continue the saga of Jennifer Hills. Getting together with Camille to film the sequel was a surreal, deja-vu-like experience.
Setdecades after her acquittal for the brutal murder of the four men who gang-raped her, Jennifer is now a bestselling non-fiction author and the target of the surviving members of her “victims” families, who are hellbent on vengeance.
Model and actress Olga Kurylenko is set to star in the sci-fi thriller Android. Written and directed by White Noise scribe Niall Johnson, the film stars Kurylenko as the deceased wife of a lonely man stationed on a spaceship orbiting Neptune who brings her and their son back to life as androids.
Things go terribly wrong of course when his wife starts nagging him about his diet and his kid starts hating him for not buying him the newest iPhone, leaving him to wonder why he didn’t just build an android goldfish… or not.
Kurylenko is best known for her roles as Tom Cruise’s wife in Oblivion and revenge-seeking Bond girl Camille Montes in Quantum of Solace. The Ukrainian stunner can also be seen in Neil Marshall’s Centurion and the big-screen video game adaptations Hitman and Max Payne.

Fans of the are most likely going ape shit over the trailer, but we’re not feeling the Orcs and aren’t crazy about the effects. Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) as Orc/human hybrid Garona does look hot though.
