[VIDEO] Gina Carano Returns to the Small Screen in February on Almost Human


(Thanks to CP reader Steven Wong for the tip/image.)

Good news, Taters! Former MMA starlet Gina Carano is making her triumphant return to the world of television and all we can say is Hnnnnnng

Carano, who is coming of a successful turn in Fast and Furious 6*, will guest star on the next episode of Almost Human, the future cop/Robocop buddy cop show on FOX. If the episode promo after the jump is to be believed, it looks like Carano will be playing an emotionless cyborg killing machine that has gone off the reservation…Haywire, you might even say. (*sad rimshot*)

Carano also has two projects currently in the works — In the Blood (a.k.a female Taken) and an untitled Adi Shankar project (a.k.a female Expendables). It’s always nice to see an old friend finding employment, but especially so when that friend is Gina Carano and that work involves corsets and fishnets.

The next episode of Almost Human airs February 3rd on FOX, so join us after the jump for a sneak peak.

Huh, well that was a thing.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the screenwriters for this episode could have done a little more with the “You’re telling me I gotta…Great” exchange. I’ve heard that bit easily 100 times in my life, and the way the dude delivered it, he might as well have turned to the camera and gave a Jim from the Office smirk. What I’m trying to say is that I hate almost everything on television now that Breaking Bad is over.

*Or at least, I’m assuming Carano was good in the film. My interest in the Fast franchise was killed as soon as Lil’ Bow Wow walked on screen. Come to think of it, I still haven’t even seen Haywire yet. It’s not that I have anything against the film — I mean, I’m sure it’s decent — but it’s so far down on my list of “Things to Do” that it might as well be “return credit card company’s phone calls,” you know what I mean?

Caranowatch: Former Gladiator-Turned-Fighter-Turned-Actress to Add “Superhero” to Her Resume


(Regardless of which direction Carano chooses to take this character, SUCCESS.) 

I know, I know, but just shut your mouths and listen for a second.

On the heels of a memorable role in the highly successful Fast and Furiousix and with two other projects currently in development, the newly single Gina Carano is less a budding star and more the next, Angelina Jolie, I guess? For the life of me, I cannot think of one actress I would consider an action star……..(*snap*) Sigourney Weaver! Gina Carano is the next Sigourney Weaver.

Aaaaanyway, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Carano will now be looking to add the title of “superhero” to her ever-growing film resume in the near future. The former MMA star is teaming up with comic book writer Rob Liefeld to bring his Avengelyne character to life on the silver screen, so they report:

Carano and Liefeld will be at Comic-Con on Saturday to meet with fans and sign posters that feature Carano as the character.

Carano and Liefeld are reconceiving and rebuilding the title into a starring vehicle for Carano, and the movie project is intended to be in the vein of Underworld, the popular vampire-vs.-werewolves franchise starring Kate Beckinsale.

A search for a writer or a writer-director to adapt Avengelyne will begin next week.

Kate Beckinsale may be the “sexier” of the two choices, but I am sticking with my Weaver/Carano comparison. Maybe it’s because I’m stubborn, maybe it’s because “Get away from her, you BITCH!” is something I’ve heard every single time I have been within eyesight of Gina Carano.

As I hope is true for most of you, I have never heard of Avengelyne because I moved on to books like a goddamn adult some years ago (*brushes crumb off ascot, turns to see if anyone else at Starbucks is reading this lyrical poetry*). That being the case, this might be the first comic book I have ever been excited to see turned into a blatant cash grab franchise. I mean, just LOOK at that outfit.

Thinly veiled attempt to sequitur into lip-biting gif and…

BOOM.
