Variety report that Actress Michael Michele has landed the female lead opposite Kurt Russell, Scott Speedman and Ving Rhames in MGM's police drama 'The Plague Season,' to be directed by Ron Shelton.

The premise of the movie is about three generations of Los Angeles police officers. Michele plays an LAPD sergeant and Speedman's stormy love interest who gets caught in the middle of a corrupt department.

Michele will join the filming after production finishes on Michael Mann's 'Ali', which is currently shooting in South Africa. She plays Veronica Porsche, the boxing champion's third wife.

The film begins production later this month.
