UKRAINE-BORN American actress Milla Jovovich, best known for her character of Alice in the “Resident Evil” franchise, will soon appear on domestic screens to join forces with a team of Chinese “spies.”

“The Rookies,” which marks the first time Jovovich will lead a Chinese film, is gearing up to open July 12.

Directed by Alan Yuen, an established scriptwriter-turned director known for “Monster Hunt” and “New Police Story,” the upcoming film is about an elite special agent who allies with an extreme sports enthusiast, a bumbling police officer, a non-professional scientist and an unemployed doctor to take down a terrorist organization.

Jovovich says she joined the project due to her admiration of director Yuen.

Yuen, who has launched the project after the conclusion of “Monster Hunt” in 2015, hopes the movie will resonate with young audiences.
