Prime Video has released a dynamic trailer for their new action thriller movie THE RUNNER which will stream September 2nd starring Gal Gadot, Alfred Enoch and Damian Lewis.
She plays
a successful London based attorney who is thrust into a tense
and dangerous chase across the city after her son is abducted. Forced to
obey a series of cryptic commands from a mysterious Caller, she races
against time through a web of secrets and threats in a desperate bid to
save her son. The movie was directed by Kevin MacDonald. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you watch the movie?
Two new books to be adapted into movies, starting with our lovely Gal Gadot who will produce and possibly star in movie version of RECOVERY AGENT by Janet Evanovich over at Paramount. It follows Gabriela Rose, a globe-trotting recovery agent who specializes in retrieving stolen or lost high-value items, typically under dangerous circumstances. Paired with her unpredictable ex-husband and partner Rafer Burke, she bounces from tropical islands to international hotspots, outsmarting criminals, rival treasure hunters, and law enforcement alike in the pursuit of the goods. Evanovich has sold over 200 million books around the globe so far.
COLD ZERO FROM PETER BERG
Netflix
has, meanwhile, acquired movie rights for Brad Thor's book COLD ZERO
with Peter Berg producing. Out in bookstores this February, it sees a
cutting-edge commercial airliner crash-land near the North Pole,
stranding survivors in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. Unbeknownst to most aboard, the plane was secretly transporting a
revolutionary, highly classified technology capable of reshaping global
power, and its disappearance sparks a frantic, high-stakes race among
the world’s major powers to recover it.
Our lovely rose of Israel, Gal Gadot will lead a World War II thriller movie RUIN together with Belgian star Matthias Schoenaerts. To be directed by Mulan's Niki Caro, it has the story set in post-WWII Germany and following a recently released camp prisoner (Gadot) who is forced to make an unlikely alliance with a German soldier (Schoenaerts) in a mutual quest to exact revenge on a Nazi SS squad.
Now, here is a totally secretive project, so secretive that we have not even heard about it before today even though we are the biggest fans of Sam Claflin. Digital Spy has found first set pic of him in new period set series THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO which is currently filming for unknown broadcaster in an Italian British co-production. French actress Ana Girardot is also filming with him in Paris. The project should not be confused with French movie Le Comte de Monte Cristo with Pierre Niney, which is out next year.
GAL GADOT'S CLEOPATRA
IS STILL VERY MUCH ON
At least that is what Gal Gadot said in a recent interview. It does not have a premiere date nor the start of production one, but we know that new CLEOPATRA will
The movie does not have a launch date yet
be directed by Kari Skogland with Laeta Kalogridis writing the script and Cleopatra being shown as not just a seductress. She was the daughter of Ptolemy, ancestor of the leader of Alexander the Great’s army. When Rome’s ruler Julius Caesar’s mentor and rival Pompey fled to Egypt after a brutal war for control of the empire, Egypt became a fixation of Roman rulers. Two siblings battled for the throne of Egypt. After winning that internal struggle by appealing personally to Caesar, Cleopatra had a complicated relationship with Rome, becoming the lover of Caesar and later Marc Antony. The latter alliance would become the undoing of both Antony and Cleopatra. Gadot, who is producing the movie, said she wants to celebrate the legacy of Cleopatra and honor this amazing historic icon!
This weekend Netflix also gave us a trailer for their new action packed movie HEART OF STONE which arrives August 11th and sees Gal Gadot playing an intelligence operative for a shadowy global peacekeeping agency who races to stop a hacker from stealing its most valuable and dangerous weapon. Jamie Dornan takes the male lead in this international espionage thriller that brings a female perspective into action franchises, and is epic in scope with high-octane action sequences – as you can see in the trailer there will be some snowy skydiving, gunfire exchanges, vehicle pursuits, dynamic fights and bombastic explosions. The movie was directed by Tom Harper and could become the first in the series of films.
While we are waiting for her Death on the Nile and Cleopatra, Gal Gadot has been set to star in the movie remake of TO CATCH A THIEF which was originally directed by Hitchcock with Grace Kelly and Cary
Beside starring, Gal will also executive produce the remake
Grant leading the story about a former thief who must prove his innocence after being suspected of returning to his former occupation. Eileen Jones is penning the script, Gadot is also producing.

RED NOTICE PLOT
When an Interpol issued Red Notice - the highest level warrant to hunt and capture the world's most wanted- goes out, the FBI's top profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) is on the case. His global pursuit finds him smack dab in the middle of a daring heist where he's forced to partner with the world's greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch the world's most wanted art thief, 'The Bishop' (Gal Gadot). The high flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each other's company!

WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN
CASTS LAURENCE O'FUARAIN
Laurence O'Fuarain will be Fjall
Netflix has cast Michelle Yeoh a few days ago in their six episode prequel series THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN which will be set a thousand years before the original series depicting the origin of witchers, but I forgot to tell you that Laurence O'Fuarain was also cast previously. He will play Fjall. Born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King, Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. A scar that won’t let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent in turmoil. Sophia Brown will play Éile, an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician.

meet in different versions of reality, a genre bending, thrilling and imaginative exploration of the infinite forms of love and how choices can change everything. Thora and Santi are strangers in a foreign city when a chance encounter intertwines their fates. At once, they recognize in each other a kindred spirit, someone who shares their insatiable curiosity, who is longing for more in life than the cards they’ve been dealt. Only days later, though, a tragic accident cuts their story short. But this is only one of the many connections they share. Like satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi are destined to meet again: as a teacher and prodigy student; a caretaker and dying patient; a cynic and a believer. In numerous lives they become friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemies. But as blurred memories and strange patterns compound, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelation—they must discover the truth of their mysterious attachment before their many lives come to one, final end.

Yep, you heard it right, it was the central news this weekend: she will unite with director Patty Jenkins again after Wonder woman on a possible new CLEOPATRA movie project which Leata Kalogridis (Alexander, Alita) is set to pen! As Deadline reports, Paramount has won at the heated auction among the studios.

Of course we shouldn't raise our hopes up, this is the fourth or fifth such project in recent years: Amazon, Freeform, Abi Morgan, Denis Villeneuve, Angelina Jolie, even Lady Gaga, all planned Cleopatra projects in recent years. But resources say that Paramount is fast tracking this one.

Well, it could be the very first major movie which will open the new cinematic season August 13th after the corona chaos ends (in which case it might even flop as many people will probably be staying away from crowded places for a very long time if they have any brains) or it might get postponed again (for the fifth time) and left for some happier times when all our troubles finally end. Having in mind the current success of Trolls animated sequel with its streaming launch the producers might consider again releasing this one directly on a streaming platform as well.

Two period set projects for you today, starting with Warner Bros who has hired Gal Gadot as the lead in their WWW2 movie IRENE SENDLER which she will also produce with her husband. The movie tells the harrowing story of a woman’s defiant stand against Nazi Germany’s occupation of Poland and the incredible network she developed to care for and save 2500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto. Following her arrest by the Gestapo during the height of the war, the drama becomes a race against time to save not only herself but the identities of the hidden thousands who’ll face certain execution.
