Daniela Melchior joins Henry Golding, Noomi Rapace and Sam Neill in spy thriller Assassin Club

A starry cast has been lined up for spy thriller Assassin Club – which has been shooting in Turin, Italy over the summer.

Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding joins Prometheus actress Noomi Rapace and Suicide Squad standout starlet Daniela Melchior for the film, which will also feature Jurassic Park legend Sam Neill.

The movie is set to follow a Bond-like plot, featuring spies, assassins and espionage, with a twist.

Golding plays hitman Morgan Gaines, recruited to take out six individuals at various global locations.

Yet the assassin soon learns things aren’t what they seem – and that those he has been hired to kill are also hitmen and hitwomen.

What’s more – they’ve all been hired to assassinate each other.

Rapace will portray Falk, another elite assassin, while Neill plays Morgan’s mentor. Melchoir – who played Cleo Cazo in Suicide Squad – plays Morgan’s girlfriend Sophie, who is put at risk by the deadly mission.
