Antonio Banderas to Star in Movie "Banshee"

Spanish actor Antonio Banderas has recently joined the cast of the action movie “Banshee”.

Jaime King and Tommy Flanagan will also star in the movie.

Directed by Jon Keeyes, the movie follows a freelance assassin, codenamed Banshee (King), who is ambushed by Anthony Greene (Flanagan), a powerful mercenary who killed her father and is seeking to collect a bounty on Caleb (Banderas), her former black-ops mentor.

Banshee seeks to find and protect Caleb, who went underground five years prior, before Greene and his army of hired killers can find him and take him down.
