Frank Grillo Reunites With Creature Commandos Co-Star in New Sci-Fi Movie

Frank Grillo, known for his roles in The Purge and Peacemaker, and Maria Bakalova, an Academy Award nominee for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, will star together in the new sci-fi thriller, Override. This isn’t the first time they’ve worked together – they previously appeared together in the animated series Creature Commandos last year, but Override will be their first live-action project as co-stars.

The movie centers on a soldier from the future (Bakalova) who is presumed dead. She’s saved by a highly advanced artificial intelligence in the form of a synthetic angel (Grillo), and together they race against time as she struggles to survive a life-threatening injury.
