Heart of Stone is a new Gal Gadot movie that Netflix is hoping to turn into a franchise – here’s everything we know about the action flick, from release date and cast to plot and trailer.

Netflix launched a ‘Save the Date’ campaign today to promote the movies that they are releasing this year, including new films from David Fincher, Zack Snyder, and Wes Anderson.

One of those movies is Heart of Stone, the new feature from Tom Harper, whose previous credits include Wild Rose and The Aeronauts.

The action movie stars Gal Gadot as an intelligence operative, and Netflix is hoping it will be the first film in a series that rivals Mission: Impossible and the Bourne movies. So here’s everything we know about Heart of Stone.

Heart of Stone plot: What is the movie about?

Here’s the official Heart of Stone synopsis:

Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) is an intelligence operative, the only woman who stands between her powerful, global, peacekeeping organization and the loss of its most valuable – and dangerous – asset.

Ori Marmur – who oversees Netflix’s original studio film group – said this of the movie to Variety: “One of the things that got us really excited was the idea of doing a film in a genre that’s often dominated by men.

“It’s Mission: Impossible. It’s Bourne. Those movies always have men at the center of them. This has two strong women in Gal Gadot and Alia Bhatt who are in the middle of things. Along with Jamie Dornan they form a central trio.”

Is there a Heart of Stone trailer?

Netflix has released a sizzle reel containing scenes from their upcoming slate, which includes footage of Gal Gadot in the movie. That teaser can be viewed below…

On August 9, the streaming service posted the final look at the film two days before its premiere. You can check out the action-packed video below:
