<p>Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh will be seen headlining the stylised action film `The Surgeon`.</p>
<p>As per Variety, the feature -- hoped to be the first in a franchise -- introduced to buyers in Cannes by Patrick Wachsberger`s 193.</p>
<p>`The Surgeon` comes from writer/director Rohsan Sethi, who also happens to be a physician, and extends a history of successful action collaborations for Wachsberger and producer Basil Iwankyk, who previously combined on `John Wick`, which Iwankyk produced and Wachsberger distributed as chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.</p>
<p>In the film, Yeoh will be seen essaying the role of a retired surgeon who is abducted and forced to operate on a mystery patient. Though greatly outnumbered, her captors have overlooked her greatest weapon: 35 years of surgical experience, leading to what the synopsis describes as an "explosive and brutal confrontation" during which she outwits and cuts down her enemies "in a visual style that defies anything you have seen before."</p>
<p>On having Michelle in the project, director Rohsan 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."</p>
<p>In addition to an Academy Award, Yeoh`s performance in `Everything Everywhere All At Once` earned her a Golden Globe, Film Independent Spirit Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award in 2023.</p>
