In the film Protector, which premieres today in theaters, Milla Jovovich stars as Nikki, a veteran war hero who thought she left her violent past behind her on the battlefield, but her peaceful life is upended when her daughter, Chloe (Isabel Myers), is kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, and she must venture into the city’s criminal underworld to find and save her. As she tears through the crime syndicate using her training, leaving a trail of death in her wake, her mission becomes even more difficult as she attracts the attention of the police and military and must avoid them in her pursuit. As the local authorities, led by Captain Michaels (D.B. Sweeney), try to bring her in, Nikki’s former commanding officer (Matthew Modine) sums it up: he doesn’t need to protect Nikki from the criminals; he needs to protect them from her.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Jovovich and Meyers opened up about what drew them to the project.

“[W]hen I got this script, it really resonated with me as a parent,” Jovovich told the site. “To be a mother of three girls and to know how human trafficking is such a problem, that it just keeps growing.”

The actress added that she felt like no one was making movies about the topic. “That's why I wanted to come in as a producer,” explained Jovovich, saying that it wasn’t just about streamlining the script. “[It was also to] make sure that once I was done filming as an actor, I had control of how the rest of the movie was going to be edited, scored, color graded, just to make sure that the subject matter was dealt with in the most sort of respectful way possible.”

Jovovich also liked that even though the film has violence and is exciting, it also has “heart and soul”.

From Guy Ritchie, who also directed the two films based on the detective, comes Young Sherlock. This installment, which takes place in Victorian England, follows a younger, disgraced Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin), who after meeting none other than James Moriarty (Dónal Finn), ends up entangled in a murder investigation that threatens his freedom.

While inspired by the Andrew Lane novel series of the same name, the Prime Video series is not a direct adaptation, according to showrunner Matthew Parkhill. “I was like, ‘Look, I kind of want to start in a different place,’ because Andy’s Sherlock is a sort of 14-year-old schoolboy,” he explained to SciFi Vision. “…[t]he things I was interested in exploring needed to start with him older and in a different place.”

The showrunner admitted that he worried about creating a series based around the Arthur Conan Doyle character given how popular it is. “I had to find a way to sort of give myself permission or a creative liberty.” He went on to say that they did not touch anything after Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet. “I want to honor the books, because I love the books, but because we're dealing with Sherlock in a different phase of his life, we had to come up with something that was different that will lead into the books but isn't the books,” said Parkhill. “That, that for me gave me a sense of freedom that allowed me to breathe and to have some fun and to play in rather than being governed too much by the terror.”

Season two of the Apple TV series Hijack follows corporate negotiator Sam Nelson, who becomes involved in another crisis, this time on a U-Bahn train in Berlin. He is pushed to the center of the hijacking after criminals threaten his ex-wife, Marsha Smith-Nelson (Christine Adams). German police attempt to negotiate with Nelson, all while monitoring the train, but eventually, thanks in part to the investigative work of Olivia Thatcher (Clare-Hope Ashitey) and British intelligence officer Peter Faber (Toby Jones), they realize his hand was forced.

Recently, co-creator, executive producer, and director Jim Field Smith, spoke with SciFi Vision about creating the claustrophobia and tension for the series, and how they had to create a full one-to-one replica of the Berlin train interior that had to move in order to do so.

As officials try to determine why Sam would carry out the takeover, much of the investigation progress comes from Olivia Thatcher (Clare-Hope Ashitey) and British intelligence officer Peter Faber (Toby Jones), who analyze and help connect it to the earlier airline hijacking and show that Sam is being coerced.

Adams recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series for season two, the difficulties in playing the more emotional parts of Marsha's storline, what she does to decompress, and more, as well as touched on her work on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
