Gina Carano is currently filming a new movie dubbed as "Bus 657." In an interview posted in YouTube, the former mix martial arts athlete talks about her role as a cop who pursues the bus hijacked by Morgan and Batista's characters. While being mum about fight scenes in the movie, co-star D.B. Sweeney drop some possible hint.
"Dave Batista is also in the movie and I can give you a little heads. There might be a little square off," D.B. Sweeney said.
Last week, Carano posted a picture with wrestler Batista in her Facebook account yesterday captioned "Set #Bus657 with Mr. Bautista."
"Bus 657" produced by Randall Emmett, George Furla, Sepher and Alexander Tabrizi stars De Niro and Batista together with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kate Bosworth and Morris Chestnut.
According to Deadline.com, the film which is formerly titled "Bus 757centers on a father (Morgan) without the means to pay for his daughter's medical treatment. As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker (Bautista) to rob a casino and the two hijack a bus full of hostages and things go awry. De Niro will play Frank "The Pope", owner of the casino, and Bosworth plays his estranged daughter. Carano is a policewoman in pursuit of the hijacked bus."
Fox10TV.com reported that Director Scott Mann is pleased "everyone's been working hard and putting the film first."
Meanwhile, according to earlier reports, UFC President Dana White expressed disappointment in dealing with Carano, who is previously anticipated to have a title bout with Ronda Rousey this year. However, MMA Fighting have reported that things went unexpectedly tough to get her sign a deal.
Reportedly, UFC marketing doesn't seem to be pleased with the news that Carano will not be able to make it in the hexagon; it might be "great news for a fighting fan's perspective."
