Nearly a year after securing the rights for Skydance's Heart of Stone, an international spy thriller in the same vein as Mission: Impossible and James Bond, Netflix has officially commenced production on the upcoming actioner. The film is set to star Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman; Justice League; Fast Five) in the lead role with Jamie Dornan (Belfast; The Tourist; Synchronic) co-starring.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but BAFTA Film Award-nominee Tom Harper (The Aeronauts; Wild Rose; War & Peace) is directing the feature, with a screenplay from Greg Rucka (The Old Guard; Stumptown; Whiteout) and Academy Award-nominee Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures; Christopher Robin; Frozen II).
On a related note, Deadline is reporting that Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt (Dear Zindagi; Gangubai Kathiawadi; Gully Boy) has joined the ensemble cast. This will be her first major English-language studio film and is an exciting choice for the 28-year-old actress, who has become one of India's brightest stars over the course of her career.
With filming underway, Gadot has taken to social media to share a first look photo of her character, Rachel Stone, who looks ready for action. She's sporting bangs, after all - everyone in the spy game knows bangs mean business.
