Sisi Stringer.
After graduating from Queensland University of Technology as a Bachelor in Fine Arts last year, Sisi Stringer has landed a key supporting role in New Line’s Mortal Kombat reboot.
Stringer will play Mileena, an unstable, dual sai-wielding assassin in the superhero movie directed by Aussie Simon McQuoid and produced by James Wan and Todd Garner.
That’s quite a coup for the Brisbane-based actor/singer who has just two screen credits: an episode of the ABC/Hoodlum Entertainment’s Harrow and a small role in Alister Grierson/Eclectik Vision’s comedic thriller Bloody Hell.
Stringer is repped by Cbm Management’s Clinton Bryan-Mathieson, who signed her when she came to Sydney for a Qut showcase.
Shooting starts at the Adelaide Studios and locations on September 26, with investment from the South Australian Government.
