Kevin Kline and Milla Jovovich are poised to star in the sex trafficking drama Welcome to America, which will be released by Lions Gate Films in North America, producer Centropolis Entertainment said Sunday, via The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on "The Girls Next Door," a January 2003 New York Times Magazine cover story by Peter Landesman about sex slavery, "America" is scheduled to start filming in Mexico City in late November.

Kline will play a Texas cop who finds out that he may have had a daughter who was trafficked some years ago. In the course of his investigation, he meets a young boy (Mexican actor Cesar Ramos) from Mexico City whose 13-year-old sister (Mexican actress Paulina Gayton) has been kidnapped. They go on a quest to save the Mexican girl, who is befriended by Jovovich, a young Russian woman who thinks she is coming to the U.S. to become a nanny, but is instead enslaved in Mexico.
