Hilary Swank is taking on a role as a doctor who moves into a Brooklyn loft to become stalked by her landlord. The Resident is a thriller to start filming in May with first time feature director Antti J. Jokinen from a script he wrote with Robert Orr. Re-write was done by Erin Cressida Wilson

Directing film isn’t new to Jokinen per say. He has directed videos with prestigious talent: Will Smith, Beyonce, Eminem, Korn and Celine Dion. He is also the co-founder of Solar Films, Finland’s largest TV and film producer, and directed and co-written several TV series in his home country.
