What's the story
Game of Thrones alum Lena Headey's 9 Bullets is set to hit theaters on April 22, its makers have revealed in the just-released trailer. Headey plays Gypsy, a former burlesque dancer who protects a young boy and his dog after he witnesses his parents' murder. Written and directed by Gigi Gaston, 9 Bullets is produced by Cassian Elwes, Gary Pearl, and Gaston, among others.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Gaston said her close, personal relationship with legendary burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee was the biggest inspiration behind the thrilling action-adventure. She also revealed it was Lee who taught her the true meaning of "girl power." So, it's exciting to see what the film has in store for us. Moreover, its release date is indeed an important update that we've all been waiting for.
