Netflix has unveiled the trailer for upcoming spy action-thriller Heart of Stone, starring and produced by Gal Gadot.
The Wonder Woman star plays Rachel Stone, a woman who appears to be an inexperienced tech on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Jamie Dornan). Well… her MI6 team doesn’t know that she actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organization, secret even from other spies, which uses cutting-edge technology to neutralise 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 (The Aeronauts, War & Peace) and written by Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures, Christopher Robin). Rucka is also credited for the story.
It’s another expensive-looking actioner from the streaming giant. As for the trailer, it may not look all that original, but it does suggest that we could be in for an entertaining spy romp. We’ll see when Heart of Stone, also starring Matthias Schweighöfe, begins streaming on Netflix on August 11th.
