The king of all action stars is back in town, but this time around, she is also the one who is going to exercise full artistic control over the entire process. Milla Jovovich has just unveiled the first startling teaser for the movie ‘Protector’, and one can already tell from this that she is not going to simply portray another character. She is not just a producer, co-writer, and even got involved in the musical score with composer Don Cherel; she is the one pushing the whole project forward. The actress in a very touching post recognized the “tireless” efforts of the cast and crew while at the same time making excellent anticipation for the movie’s opening in theaters next month.
In the video teaser, a very intense and dangerous plot is revealed. The role that Jovovich plays, Nikki, is a desperate mother on a mission. A voiceover states, “I have been taught all the different ways of killing,” while she retorts, “But giving a life, bringing a person into this world… that’s another story.” The story gets more exciting when her daughter, Chloe, is abducted, and there are only a little less than three days for Nikki to find her. The cops consider Nikki a dangerous killer—a “natural disaster” accountable for 13 deaths—but the film suggests that she has a goal to kill only human traffickers, hence, her fight is represented as one of fierce maternal love. “Who is she?” one character inquires. The swift and lethal response comes, “A mother.”
The initial reaction to the revelation was immediate and loud affirmation from a global audience. Many simply could not help their delight in seeing Jovovich back again in an action-oriented role. One ecstatic follower commented, “YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, so good to see you again,” expressing the views of many people who have waited for her return to the screen. Another person who liked her said, “The one and only action heroine for me since The Fifth Element,” referring to the fact that the actress still has the power of her original character Leeloo.
The global fans of Jovovich have also been acknowledged. An Argentine user said, “Certainly, I’m going to watch it…. Hugs from Argentina,” while a Brazilian admirer made a cheerful promise, “This one I’m going to see in the cinemas! I love her!!!”. One comment from another Brazilian user termed her “a role model for all women,” thereby showcasing the strong character she represents.
‘Protector’ has definitely created a buzz but at the same time, there were some voices prophesizing the return of the franchise that turned her into the queen of the genre. “Please do a new part for Resident Evil, I really miss it,” someone posted, which indicates how much the character Alice has impacted the audience. Another person made a light-hearted request concerning the release of music that is not yet available, while another user quickly joined in specifically wanting a particular song to be available on streaming platforms. It’s an odd yet lovely reminder of Jovovich’s diverse career as a model, musician, and actress. Her family life, including her husband Paul Anderson, is also a source of joy for her fans.
