Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan film Heart of Stone in the UK
Filming gets underway this week in the UK on spy thriller Heart of Stone for Netflix, starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
The plot of the film, from Skydance Media, is very much under wraps, with The Aeronauts director Tom Harper calling the shots from a screenplay by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder.
The producing line-up includes Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger, Gadot and Varsano for Pilot Wave and Julie Lynn and Bonnie Curtis of Mockingbird.
Gadot is also preparing to play two famous women – she will portray Egyptian queen Cleopatra in a biopic to be directed by Kari Skogland as well as taking on the role of well-known actor Hedy Lamarr, who became involved in WWII by pioneering the technology that would go on to form the basis for wi-fi and Bluetooth as we know them today.
