The first trailer has debuted for director Navot Papushado’s female-driven action thriller Gunpowder Milkshake which stars Karen Gillan as a fierce hitwoman, who with the help of her lethal associates and her estranged mother (Lena Headey), fights for her own survival and protects the life of an 8-year-old girl after a high risk job goes wrong; watch the trailer here…

Sam (Karen Gillan) was only 12 years old when her mother Scarlet (Lena Headey), an elite assassin, was forced to abandon her. Sam was raised by The Firm, the ruthless crime syndicate her mother worked for. Now, 15 years later, Sam has followed in her mother’s footsteps and grown into a fierce hit-woman. She uses her “talents” to clean up The Firm’s most dangerous messes. She’s as efficient as she is loyal.

But when a high-risk job goes wrong, Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent 8-year-old girl – Emily (Chloe Coleman). With a target on her back, Sam has only one chance to survive: Reunite with her mother and her lethal associates: The Librarians (Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino). These three generations of women must now learn to trust each other, stand up to The Firm and their army of henchmen, and raise hell against those who could take everything from them.

Gunpowder Milkshake features a cast that includes Karen Gillan, Chloe Coleman, Lena Headey, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Carla Gugino, Ralph Ineson, Adam Nagaitis, Michael Smiley, and Paul Giamatti.

Gunpowder Milkshake arrives on Netflix in the U.S. and in cinemas internationally from July 14th.
