Rosario Dawson Busy with ‘Queen of the Night’, ‘Sin City’ Sequel, ‘Trance’

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rosario Dawson will play a detective in Atom Egoyan’s newest thriller, Queen of the Night. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as a desperate father whose daughter is abducted without a trace. Eight years later new clues surface, and the father is convinced his daughter is still alive. He insists on reopening the otherwise cold case. Dawson will play a detective assigned to helping find the child and unravel the mystery before it goes cold again.

The Wrap.com confirms Dawson’s involvement in the new movie. Mireille Enos (The Killing), and Scott Speedman (Last Resort) are also slated to appear in the film, though their roles are not yet specified.

Dawson adds her latest role to an already jam-packed schedule. She’s currently wrapping up filming for the action-thriller Trance, with James McAvoy, due out later this year. She’s also busy reprising her role as Gail in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, a follow up to the wildly popular 2005 Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller flick, Sin City. Dawson recently finished filming Parts Per Billion alongside Josh Hartnett, Penn Badgley and Frank Langella, and Diego Luna’s biopic Chavez, which also stars Michael Peña.

Somehow Dawson is going to make it all work, Queen of the Night is set to begin filming this February.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
