James Bond is the biggest name in the espionage film game. Nothing is more exciting than a dashing secret agent traversing the world to prevent the worst catastrophes. Especially when they do it with action and flair. For a while now, there has been a call to see James Bond as a female, creating a super-agent that women can get behind as inspiration the way that James Bond did for men. While there has been a lot of backlash and controversy over that idea, Skydance Media and Netflix aren’t waiting for that to become a reality. Instead, they are creating their own spy thriller with a female protagonist, this one led by superstar Gal Gadot. Thanks to her Instagram, fans got an exciting update.
While Heart of Stone has a plot being kept under wraps, it is being described as a spy thriller in the vein of James Bond. Outside of casting news and a few peeks into the project, Gal Gadot and friends have kept an infuriatingly tight lid on things. However, she posted an image of the crew behind her in a selfie with a message that the film had finished shooting and was a wrap. The lead actress revealed the project had been in development for four and a half years with a shooting schedule that spanned five months and just as many countries. She continued by thanking everyone involved.
