Trailer For Gal Gadot's Netflix Action Thriller HEART OF STONE
Netflix has released the full trailer for Gal Gadot’s upcoming action spy thriller Heart of Stone, which puts a female spin on action franchises like Mission: Impossible and James Bond. It looks like she went on and made a thrilling action movie!
The story is set in the world of international crime and follows a seasoned Interpol agent named Rachel Stone (Gadot), who “appears to be an inexperienced tech, on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Jamie Dornan). What her MI6 team doesn't know is that Stone actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organization, secret even from other spies, which uses cutting-edge technology to neutralize global threats. Rachel has been trained to be the consummate professional: a phenomenal field agent who sticks to the mission, follows the numbers, and trusts no one. When a routine mission is derailed by mysterious hacker Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt), Rachel's two lives collide. As she races to protect the Charter and strives to beat the odds, her humanity might just be her biggest asset.”
The film is directed by Tom Harper from a screenplay by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder. Harper previously told EW that he's hopeful the film is the start of a new, female-led action franchise: "There were a couple of things that immediately jumped out at me, the first was that it was an original movie in a genre that is full of great franchises, but things that have been around for a long time — the Mission: Impossibles or the Bonds or the Bournes," Harper said. "I love those films, but they've all been around for decades, so working on something that was an addition to that genre but an original piece of material felt really exciting and was a real opportunity. And I also just loved the fact that it had a female protagonist at the heart of it."
Gadot previously said: "I realized that there was an audience for a female action protagonist. I grew up watching Bond, and Mission, and Bourne. I wanted to create a really strong, female-driven action movie that is for everybody, not a male story that's been done many times already."
The movie was directed by The Aeronauts director Tom Harper, with a script co-written by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder. I like that the creative team went out and created an original female spy character. It looks like a solid action-packed film and a great project for Gadot to be a part of!
The movie also stars Matthias Schweighöfer, Sophie Okonedo, Paul Ready, Jing Lusi, Angela Esposito, Jon Kortajarena, and Matteo Cicconi. It will hit Netflix on August 11th! Check out the trailer and tell us what you think!
