Elektra with Jennifer Garner and Goran Visnjic

Synopsis of the DVD Movie: Elektra with Jennifer Garner and Goran Visnjic

Alias'" Jennifer Garner returns as ELEKTRA, a lethal synthesis of grace and power with the mystical power known as kimagure: a limited ability to see the future. She has purposefully severed all ties with the world and lives only for her next assignment. Elektra's latest job forces her to make a decision that can take her life in a whole new direction - or destroy her.

Directed by Rob Bowman (The X-Files Movie, Reign of Fire), and influenced by the kind of Asian-flavored cinema of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill and Hero, Elektra is set to take the action movie to a whole new level. With spectacular stunts, electrifying martial arts sequences, and one of the hottest actresses around taking centre stage as the beautiful and deadly assassin, Elektra looks set to be the coolest action-adventure of 2005, where looks can kill...

Co-starring Goran Visnjic (Welcome to Sarajevo) and Terence Stamp (The Collector), Elektra is directed by Rob Bowman (Reign of Fire, The X-Files, winner of three Golden Globes for producing and directing The X-Files television series); and produced by Arnon Milchan (Man on Fire, Daredevil), Gary Foster (Daredevil, The Score, Sleepless in Seattle), Avi Arad (Spider-Man, X-Men, X2). The screenplay is by Zak Penn and the story by Stu Zicherman & Raven Metzner.

Rob Bowman presents Elektra

Rob Bowman, director of the upcoming comic-book movie Elektra, told that he brought SF chops to the project as a veteran helmer of the X-Files TV series and movie and the feature film Reign of Fire. "In terms of the hyper-real, surreal or science-fiction aspects of it, I'm obviously very familiar with it, and I think I was comfortable handling the more exotic parts of the story," Rob Bowman said in an interview last summer on the film's Vancouver, B.C., set.

Rob Bowman added that he was able to balance the SF elements of the story with the personal drama of Elektra Natchios, played by Alias star Jennifer Garner. "I felt like, 'OK, this is within my realm, and I know that it needs to be commercial,'" he said. "But more important to me was the power of Elektra's personal story. And so bringing ... muscles built during The X-Files and X-Files movie and Reign of Fire, I thought, 'I understand how to make this film.'"

Elektra, the follow-up to 2003's Daredevil, centers on Garner's character, an alienated warrior assassin, and her battle against a mysterious criminal organization called The Hand. Bowman admitted that he was not familiar with the Marvel Comics series on which the movie is based. "I did not read Elektra as a kid," he said. "It actually came around after I was out of my teens. ... So the first thing I looked into with Elektra was 'What's going on inside of her? Is there more than "I'm just a good old person who does heroic things?"'"

Rob Bowman said he was attracted to the character because of her dark past. "Sitting still without an assignment or a task that is not external is a problem for her," he said. "Because she starts to think about things that, you know, upset her, cause her to feel anger. She's extraordinarily haunted. ... Existence is what she suffers through. The movie is about her coming to grips with what's actually going on inside of her. One of our themes is that she has abilities and feelings that she's unaware of until very late in the movie."
