Craving another Angelina Jolie blockbuster? Then you’re in for a treat. The 45-year-old movie icon will be the star of upcoming action thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead, in which she plays a firefighter.

Based on Michael Koryta’s novel of the same name, the film is set amid a wildfire in the Montana wilderness. In the film, a teenager witnesses a murder and is chased by two assassins, and it’s Ange’s job to protect him as a forest fire threatens to destroy them all.
