"Heroes" co-star Stana Katic has signed on to play an assassin in the indie crime thriller Stiletto, which recently began principal photography, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The cast also includes Tom Berenger and Michael Biehn. The seemingly random killings by Katic's character puzzle her lover, her clients and the detective following her rising body count.
Berenger (Training Day) plays her boyfriend, whose rise in organized crime is offset by his love for her and his Mafia cohort (Biehn of Grindhouse). Paul Sloan (The Scorpion King) plays the detective and makes his feature screenwriting debut with the film. Nick Vallelonga directs.
The ensemble cast also includes Dominique Swain, Kelly Hu, Diane Venora, William Forsythe, Amanda Brooks and Tom Sizemore.
