Zoe Saldana in 'Colombiana'

HeatVision reports Zoe Saldana is in early negotiations to star in "Colombiana," a drama that Luc Besson is producing under his Europa Corp. The project is slated for late-summer start with Olivier Megaton ("Transporter 3") directing.

Written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, "Colombiana" is set in Latin America and the U.S. Saldana would play a young woman who, after witnessing her parents' murder as a child in Bogota, grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. She works for her uncle as a hitman by day, but her personal time is spent engaging in vigilante murders that she hopes will lead her to her ultimate target: the mobster responsible for her parents' death.

She most recently was seen in The Losers and Death at a Funeral, Next year she starts shooting the sequel to the JJ Abrams Star Trek sequel from 2009. If comulmbiana is as retarded as both her most recent films, she'll be three for three in the crap department, and in desperate need of the Star Trek sequel so we can forget about all the shit we've seen her in as of late.
