About Kate
Kate, who plays Lynn, has made the transition from young Hollywood starlet to one of today’s leading ladies. She recently starred in Robert Luketic’s Vegas cards caper 21 and played the iconic Lois Lane in the comic book blockbuster Superman Returns, for director Bryan Singer. She was also seen starring opposite Sigourney Weaver in David Auburn’s drama The Girl in the Park.
Most recognized for her strong-willed performance in John Stockwell’s Blue Crush, Bosworth landed her first lead role after dedicating herself to a crash course in surfing. Though she made her feature film debut in Robert Redford’s The Horse Whisperer at the age of 14, Bosworth made the decision early on to make her education a priority and chose parts that would accommodate her school schedule. Born in California but raised in New England, Bosworth has become bicoastal over the last few years.
About The Warrior’s Way
In The Warrior’s Way’s vividly imagined world, every sunset and sunrise infuses the air with crimson and the night sky floods the landscape with cobalt blue light. It is a world where an army of trained assassins can instantly emerge from a lotus pond and a half-finished Ferris wheel dominates the landscape. Shot almost entirely on studio sets, The Warrior’s Way brings together a kaleidoscope of color, visual effects, evocative costumes, vivid make-up and stylized action to create a dreamlike setting that is not entirely East or West.
iPhone App
