Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones attended New York Comic Con 2026 to present Kill Jackie, AMC’s new series based on Peter’s novel The Price You Pay. In this adaptation, the male protagonist Jack becomes Jackie, a change the actress addressed alongside the contrast with her Morticia Addams from Tim Burton’s Wednesday.
From dance to action: the technical approach to combat sequences 🎬
Zeta-Jones explained that her dance training allows her to approach action sequences as if they were choreography. This approach fits the tone of the series, where Jackie inhabits a dangerous world of dubious art deals and tax evasion. The production works on the characters’ movement through the precision of gesture, a detail that action television fiction is incorporating with complex female protagonists and an ambiguous morality that the series will explore in depth.
The art of evading taxes with choreographic elegance 💃
If Kill Jackie teaches us anything, it’s that dubious art deals and tax evasion improve greatly when executed with a good dance step. Zeta-Jones turns every fight into a fiscal ballet and every chase into an accounting choreography. It’s clear that the underworld needs more classical dance training and fewer financial advisors with tight schedules.
