Katie Price has been cast in a new film alongside an actor known for his role in the Harry Potter franchise.

Deadline reports that the film – directed by Michael Head and produced by Frankham Films – has already begun filming in London.
The synopsis of the film reads: ‘Set in London’s Whitechapel district in 1888, Kirk stars as Jackie/Lottie who finds herself plagued by the infamous Jack The Ripper (Lomas) who is head of a secret organization known only as The Court. Only one man, John Grey (Webster), stands up to the Ripper, vowing to fight against the tyranny, carnage, and male oppression that is left in the court’s wake.’
It continues: ‘Cut to modern day, and a group of kick-ass female assassins, led by their leader Jackie, plan a series of hits that will leave The Court dead in their tracks.’
