Los Angeles, Dec 10 (NationPress) The emerging Hollywood actress Rina Lipa, sibling of renowned singer-songwriter Dua Lipa, is poised to step into the world of cinema. She will portray a cut-throat criminal in her debut role.
The 24-year-old will share the screen with Jonny Weldon from One Day and Tony Cook, a star from ‘Dune: Part Two’, in the suspenseful British crime film ‘A Gangster’s Life’, as reported by ‘Female First UK’.
Rina’s cinematic journey begins in January, where she will embody the character Scarlett, who navigates a perilous realm filled with mobsters, murder, and betrayal. This role marks her entry into the film industry, following in the footsteps of her illustrious sister. The movie will also introduce Zak Fenning, an award-winning cinematographer, in his directorial debut.
As stated by ‘Female First UK’, this upcoming film pays tribute to iconic gangster films such as Guy Ritchie’s classics, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Gentlemen. The cast includes Tomi May, Christina Gkioka, Bradley Turner, and Sasha Latoya. ‘A Gangster’s Life’ is set to premiere on UK digital platforms on January 19, courtesy of Miracle Media.
The narrative follows two low-level con artists, Ant (played by Cook) and Dick (Weldon), who unwittingly cross paths with the vicious London gangster Emery (May). After their lives take a dramatic turn, the duo is reluctantly drawn into Emery's perilous world of crime. Rina's character, Scarlett, is a member of Emery's ruthless gang, manipulating Ant and Dick as pawns in their criminal schemes.
Their journey takes an unexpected twist as they flee to Greece following a deadly incident involving one of the mobsters. The Lipa family is no stranger to the film industry; Dua appeared as Mermaid Barbie in Greta Gerwig's Barbie in 2023 and also played a lethal spy named LaGrange in Matthew Vaughn's Argylle, alongside notable actors like Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, and Bryan Cranston. ‘A Gangster’s Life’ will be available for streaming on January 19 from Miracle Media.
