On Tuesday, Elevation Films dropped the first trailer for Avan Jogia's feature directorial debut Door Mouse - streaming VOD on January 13 - in which Famke plays a tough, shady burlesque club owner called Mama.
'I feel incredibly misunderstood at times,' Janssen lamented to The Independent in September of her typecasting.
'It's the dichotomy between the way I look and what is happening inside. But that comes with being in a Bond movie and playing this crazy assassin. All of my friends and family know that I'm goofy, and sensitive, and that I play these characters who are so different from that; other people probably think I'm just playing myself.'
