Michael Vartan joins Zoe Saldana's 'Colombiana'

Michael Vartan is teaming up with Zoe Saldana in "Colombiana," an action flick Olivier Megaton will direct from a script co-written by Luc Besson. Vartan is starring as Dr. Tom Wakefield on TV's "Hawthorne."

Heat Vision says the "Colombiana" follows a woman who becomes a hitwoman after witnessing her parents' murder in Bogota. Now she's trying to seek revenge by killing the dude responsible for the act.

Vartan is set to play her boyfriend. He has no clue what she's up to. A release date for the film is set for Sept. 2, 2011. Vartan, who is known for his role in "Alias," also starred in "Demoted." Good actor, for sure.
