Movies
Kelly Brook ("Smallville") has nabbed the female lead in "Absolon," reports The Hollywood Repoter.

She will star alongside Christopher Lambert, Lou Diamond Phillips and Ron Perlman.

"Absolon" is the story of a detective (Lambert) investigating the murder of an inventor who had discovered a cure for a devastating disease. During the investigation, he's injected with the last dosage of the drug and thus becomes the hope to cure all mankind. Brook will play a mysterious woman who attempts to help Lambert avoid a dangerous group headed up by Phillips that doesn't want the cure to hit the streets.

David Barto is making his directorial debut on the project from a script by Brad Mirman.

Shooting starts May 13 in Toronto.
