UFC FIGHTER GINA CARRINO- TO PLAY A HAYWIRED KNOCKOUT.

At Toronto's Film Festival, Lionsgate has bought the American distribution rights for Knockout, which will be director Steven Soderbergh's next film-right after- The Informant!

Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media will wholly finance the spy thriller. The comely,fighting beauty, will make her acting debut in the flick that will be "in the vein of La Femme Nikita" mixed with the sleak,too smart cool, of TV's Alias.

The film stars its January production in very worldly areas- including the U.S., Ireland, and Turkey.

The script was penned by Lem Dobbs, with Gregory Jacobs executive producing with Kavanaugh, and Tucker Tooley.
