Odette Yustman to star in Rogue's Gallery - a comedy about Assassins

Odette Yustman (Cloverfield, The Unborn) talked to ComingSoon about her next film, "a small, dry-wit, dark comedy about a group of assassins, they're all based on Tarot card names." It is called Rogue's Gallery and also stars Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Ellen Barkin, Maggie Q, and comedians Jeffrey Tambor, Zach Galifianakis and Rob Corddry. "It's funny in that way that it's kind've gory, but hilarious in the way the situations come about because I get to work with great comedic actors," Yustman explains. Which, to me, sounds like it could be very embarrasing to watch.

Yustman's character in the film is named Temperence, "and each of us have different functions and things we have to do," she explains. "We're hired by the government, we're this underground society, and we're basically sent to kill whoever we have to kill. And one day this new hire comes in and we wind up having to kill each other. I got to do some fight training and some of my own stunts. That was my dream role. I get to kick ass, be funny, kill people with a paper cutter blade."

The script was written by two newcomers, Brian Watanabe and Abe Levy, and it's being directed by another first-timer, Fouad Mikati.

Comedy film about assassins with a supernatural tint to it - good or bad?
