Michelle Yeoh leads the cast of The Surgeon
Michelle Yeoh is to star in action movie 'The Surgeon'. The 62-year-old actress has signed up to star in the flick that is being produced by Thunder Road, the company behind the 'John Wick' franchise. The movie follows a retired surgeon (Yeoh), who is abducted and forced to operate on a mystery patient. Although she is heavily outnumbered, her captors have overlooked the greatest weapon she has – 35 years of surgical experience, leading to an explosive and brutal confrontation in which she outwits and cuts down her enemies in a visual style unlike anything seen before. It is hoped that the flick could mark the beginning of a franchise. Roshan Sethi, a physician and co-creator of the medical drama series 'The Resident', is writing and directing the film - which is being produced by Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee for Thunder Road together with John Schoenfelder and Russell Ackerman for NeoText. Patrick Wachsberger and Legendary JV's 193 will launch sales on the project at the Cannes market. Sethi said: "I'm so excited to bring something brand new and innovative to the action genre based heavily on my medical background. "I cannot think of a better partner than Michelle, the iconic queen of action who will be using her skills in a different and surprising way in this film, and the producing teams at Thunder Road, 193 and NeoText." Iwanyk added: "Roshin wrote an incredibly complex and compelling character that was able to excite one of the world's greatest actresses in Michelle Yeoh. I can't wait to see what that collaboration cooks up. "And to work again with Patrick, who was so instrumental in getting the 'John Wick' and 'Sicario' franchises made, is a great thrill for Thunder Road." Michelle played the role of Madame Morrible in the movie adaptation of 'Wicked' but confessed that she had never heard of the hit stage musical before being asked to join the cast by director Jon M. Chu. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winning actress said: "At that point I had no clue what he was talking about because I had not seen 'Wicked' the musical before. I knew 'Wizard of Oz', who doesn't, but not 'Wicked' because I hadn't been going to the theatres and not doing what I love which is watching musicals, for quite a while I hate to say." Yeoh's character sings in the film, but she explained that she was "terrified" about using her vocals onscreen for the first time. The 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' star said: "I was terrified, I was not just nervous ... The process of exercising, learning to use the muscles in a different way, was actually very, very good for me because it helps with my voice as an actor. So I had fun."

North Carolina nurse lands Netflix role with no plans to give up ER day job
"Zero Day" star Eden Lee is balancing saving lives as a real-life emergency room nurse with her rising career in Hollywood. The 34-year-old actress, who works in the ER at Atrium Health Union in Monroe, North Carolina, landed her first major role in the new Netflix political thriller limited series starring Robert De Niro. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Lee explained why she decided to pursue acting while continuing to serve her community as an emergency medical professional. "Acting is something I've always wanted to do ever since I was younger," she said. "It wasn't something that was particularly encouraged. It was seen as more of a hobby." "And so when I started settling into my career a couple years into working in the ER, I was very happy," she continued. "I found my now-husband. I was feeling very fulfilled in my career, yet subsequently I felt like... something was missing. "And so I started looking around and realized I now have the luxury of being a grown-up and making my own choices because I make my own money and let's see what acting classes do for me." Lee, who graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a bachelor's degree in nursing, told Fox News Digital that she initially planned to attend medical school. However, she decided that she wanted to "get to the bedside quicker," so she declared nursing as her major. The New York native launched her acting career in 2017. She appeared in a string of short films before making her streaming debut in the 2021 Fox Nation holiday movie "Christmas in the Pines." Over the past few years, Lee racked up acting credits with guest appearances on TV shows like "The Resident," "Dynasty," "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law," "Twisted Metal," "First Wives Club," "Found" and "Parish." Lee also took on roles in the 2022 action film "County Line: No Fear" and the 2023 coming-of-age movie "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," based on Judy Blume's 1970 novel of the same name. WATCH: 'ZERO DAY' STAR EDEN LEE SAYS SHE WON'T GIVE UP ER NURSE DAY JOB 'ANYTIME SOON' While speaking with Fox News Digital, Lee shared how she juggles her acting gigs with shifts in the ER. "Luckily, I've been an ER nurse for 12 years now, so I have a loyalty to my department, and my department has a loyalty for me, and so I'm offered a lot of flexibility and freedom to pursue my career," she said. Lee recently told the Charlotte Observer that as a PRN nurse, she works on an "as-needed" basis, which has enabled her to more easily divide her time between her two professions. She explained to Fox News Digital that managing her busy schedule is a "matter of balancing it from week to week." "I pick my schedule at work in a way that suits me and suits my auditioning schedule, and if there's ever times where I need to take an extended leave of absence, my department is very accommodating of that," Lee said. Though Lee has now established herself as a working actress, she told Fox News Digital that she doesn't foresee hanging up her scrubs in the near future. "I've been working professionally for a few years and, so luckily and thankfully, I have the luxury of honestly letting my nursing job go," she said. "And my husband has from time to time been like, 'You should just quit. Why are you still going?'" "And I worked really hard for this thing too," Lee continued. "So emergency nursing feels very much a part of me as acting does." Lee said she enjoys each of her vocations equally, adding, "Obviously, there's one I'm pursuing with a little bit more fervor, but I don't see myself letting go of nursing anytime soon." The actress went on to say that she sees parallels between her two occupations, noting that they both require "empathy." "I tell people all the time on both sides, whether it's acting or in nursing, that I find that they inform each other very well," she said. "Obviously, when I'm working as a nurse and working at the bedside, empathy and compassion is a big part of doing what I do." "And subsequently, I feel like working as an actor is a constant practice of empathy as well," Lee continued. "And on my bad days, you know, I got to be a real good actor at work, too." Lee recalled that there have been a "couple of times" when she has had to use her ER nursing skills while working on sets. "There was a show that I got hired on to play a nurse and I realized very quickly when I got there that they were also in need of a little bit of medical expertise when it came down to handling some of the equipment," she said. "Emergency nursing feels very much a part of me as acting does." Additionally, Lee told Fox News Digital that she stepped in to help an injured actor during the filming of one of her projects. "There's been an instance on a smaller scale working on a short film project with a friend of mine," she said. "We had an actor get hurt when he was on set, and between the time it took for our onset medic to get there and between him getting injured, I was able to lend a hand in a situation that felt very crisis-like for a lot of people there." WATCH: ACTRESS EDEN LEE RECALLS USING ER NURSING SKILLS TO HELP INJURED ACTOR IN 'CRISIS-LIKE' SITUATION ON SET Lee told Fox News Digital that the "toughest part" of working as an ER nurse is "realizing over and over again that we live in a world that is less than ideal." "I feel very fortunate to be very well tied into my community, but at the same time, it is a privilege, but it's also really hard to see all the things that people who don't work in healthcare are not privy to," she said. "And so I feel like my biggest struggle is realizing that the state of our country is the way that it is and, hopefully, what I do and how I participate in it is making it better," Lee added. "Zero Day," which was released on Feb. 20, follows a "former US President, George Mullen (De Niro}, who is called out of retirement to investigate a devastating cyberattack," which becomes known as "Zero Day," according to a plot synopsis for the show. "As he delves into the event, he uncovers a web of lies, conspiracies, and personal betrayals that threaten to unravel the nation." Along with Lee and De Niro, the six-episode miniseries features an ensemble cast that includes Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, Matthew Modine and McKinley Belcher III. "Zero Day" marks De Niro's first leading role in a TV series. The two-time Academy Award winner also executive produced the show along with creators Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Michael Schmidt as well as director Lesli Linka Glatter and Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman. In a recurring role, Lee portrays Special Agent Angela Kim, who heads the FBI National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force. Kim joins the Zero Day Commission, which is led by Mullen, as they work to uncover the culprits and motives behind the deadly cyberattack. WATCH: ROBERT DE NIRO'S 'ZERO DAY' CO-STAR EDEN LEE REFLECTS ON WORKING WITH ACTOR During her interview with Fox News Digital, Lee reflected on her experience working with De Niro. "I couldn't in my wildest dreams ever imagine that I would be working with Robert De Niro," she said. She continued, "I think every actor has this bucket list that in our wildest dream we would get to do, like go to the Oscars and work with Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep and so on. This wasn't even on my bingo card." "And working with him was such an eye-opening experience," Lee added. "I think for me, my biggest takeaway in working with him is realizing that working really hard and being a kind person are really the key factors to making sure that you have a long and successful career." Lee also shared what surprised her most about working with the "Taxi Driver" star. "I think the thing that we as aspiring actors and looking up to people like Robert De Niro, we make some assumption that these people are infallible, and they're perfect, and they must show up camera-ready every single day," she said. "On our early mornings, if there were days when he would trip up a couple of lines or things like that, it was just really eye-opening, right? It's a consistent practice of showing up and working really hard," Lee added. "But he comes in ready every single day, which is very impressive." Lee noted that she didn't ask for any advice or "sage wisdom" from the veteran actor. "He's generally, I believe, a very introverted person. And so between takes and stuff, he keeps to himself," she said. "I felt like watching him work was probably the best way to learn what I should be doing." Following "Zero Day," Lee is continuing to line up new acting projects. The actress told Fox News Digital that she recently wrapped filming on the independent film "Bedford Park," the first directorial outing for writer and editor Stephanie Ahn. Lee said she is playing a small supporting role in the movie, which she described as "more of a coming-of-age romantic drama" that is "based on two Korean-American leads." As a Korean-American herself, Lee shared that it was "super important for me to make it into that project." Lee also shared that she will be traveling to Atlanta to film a guest appearance in the long-running Canadian TV series "Murdoch Mysteries." "And so hopefully the train just keeps chugging along," she said. "Zero Day" is streaming on Netflix now.

Ahead of Finale, Fox's Doc Gave Fans More Reasons to Jeer Dr. Miller
The following contains spoilers from the March 11 episode of Fox's . Just when you started warming up to Dr. Richard Miller, understanding as we now do his difficult home life…. Doc went and had him do the unthinkable. And boy, did it have immediate repercussions. More from TVLine Doc Renewed for 22-Episode Season 2 After Emerging as Fox's Most-Watched Entertainment Program Alert: MPU Season 3: The Resident's Malcolm-Jamal Warner Among Cast Additions Is The Masked Singer's Coral a Disney Star in Disguise? Here's Our Theory Arguably the biggest question born of the (already-renewed!) Fox drama's inciting incident had to do with a mistake that Richard made, before colleague Dr. Amy Larsen's (Molly Parker) life-changing car accident, when treating an older patient, 83-year-old Bill Dixon, who had choked on, well, a ham sandwich. Richard accidentally pushed Metoprolol, a beta blocker, into the patient's IV, causing him to code and then die. Amy of course does not remember uncovering Richard's mistake, but her review of email drafts — namely a curious one with only the subject line 'Dixon' — set her on a journey that tagged in Nurse Julie, who in turn was curious to see that Dixon's autopsy report had restricted access. Julie asked Richard about it, and he said/lied that he would circle back with Amy himself. Instead, he made a beeline to his lawyer. 'My negligence killed a man, and then I lied about it,' Richard affirmed to his increasingly anxious lawyer. 'How do you defend that?' Richard's lawyer suggested that maybe perhaps possibly there could be/might be an 'alternate theory' about why Dixon died. Afterwards, we saw Richard privately huddle with Nurse Liz, who was with him when Dixon coded. Amy meanwhile learned of Richard's slipperiness from Julie, then paid a visit to Dr. Franco from pathology, who recalled that Dr. Miller had (atypically) made changes to the deceased's medical file, removing the mention of Metoprolol. When Amy asked Liz for her recollection of the event, the young nurse, fresh from her meeting with Dr. Miller, said that he had taken Amiodarone from her cart and administered it himself. Liz then urged Dr. Larsen to not dig into the matter further. Dig Amy did, though, marching into Richard's office to declare, 'I know what happened to Dixon' — that after the patient aspirated and Richard called a code, he mistakenly administered Metoprolol. The old Amy had figured it out, and 'that is why you were so keen to get rid of me' after the accident, she surmised. Caught dead to rights, Richard somehow had the temerity to 'correct' Amy, saying, 'I didn't kill Bill Dixon; you did,' by going behind his back weeks prior to write Dixon a script for Metoprolol and then fail to add it to the man's chart. 'I haven't been covering my ass, Amy,' he added. 'I've been covering yours.' Amy tried to wave off the accusation, but Richard said that Liz would back him up, because she was there when Amy wrote the prescription. Hit by a ton of bricks by this devastating 'news,' Amy was emotionally vulnerable when she ran into ex-husband Michael in the elevator. Sensing her distress, Michael pulled her into a comforting hug, and a face caress… which turned into a long, passionate, yearning kiss. What did you think of this week's , and what are your predictions for the already-renewed freshman drama's Season 1 finale next week? Did Amy make the right call with TJ's father?
