Rapace would portray a female CIA interrogator duped into getting a terrorist to provide key information to the wrong side in the Mikael Hafstrom-directed film.

Her character’s misstep puts her at the center of a plot to launch a biological attack in London.

Unlocked was originally set at Warner Bros., but the studio release it and it’s being produced as an indie film.

Rapace, who rose to acclaim in the original Swedish The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy, starred in the Ridley Scott-directed Prometheus, and next stars with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke in the Daniel Espinosa-directed Child 44 for Summit Entertainment.

It’s just another manic Monday for Noomi Rapace…

The 33-year-old half-Spanish actress is teaming up with Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters director Tommy Wirkola for What Happened To Monday?

Rapace will portray septuplet sisters who struggle to stay hidden in an overpopulated world where a one-child policy outlaws siblings in the sci-fi drama.

Wirkola said he originally envisioned the protagonist(s) as male, but “I was struck by the complexities of having an actor portray seven characters and immediately knew Noomi was the ideal actor – male or female – to bring them to life,” said Wirkola in a statement.

That puts the breakout star of the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo in the rare company of female talent like Angelina Jolie, who succeeded Tom Cruise as the star of Salt.

The script for What Happened To Monday? was written by Max Botkin.

Rapace, who signed with Creative Artists Agency this past August, will next star in Child 44 and Animal Rescue.

In Dead Man Down, Rapace’s character Beatrice becomes a victim to an underground crime lord in New York City, Alphonse Hoyt, played by Terrence Howard.

Beatrice then looks to exact revenge, and to achieve her goal she seduces Alphonse’s right hand man, Farrell’s character Victor, before blackmailing him into killing his own boss. It so happens Victor is also seeking to avenge the death of his wife and daughter at the hands of his boss. As the film progresses, Victor and Beatrice’s intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis.

With a supporting cast that includes Dominic Cooper, Raw Leiba, Isabelle Huppert and Puerto Rican actor Franky G, the R-rated movie is set for a March 8 release in the U.S.
