Indian cinema star Alia Bhatt plays the role of an antagonist who keeps her co-stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan on their toes in Heart of Stone, the espionage thriller from Netflix.
Alia, along with Gal and Jamie, unveiled the first trailer of Heart of Stone during the streamer’s global live event Tudum in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on late Saturday night.
The film, set to premiere on August 11 on Netflix, is directed by Tom Harper from a script penned by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder.
Alia shared the trailer of the film on social media.
“HEART OF STONE. August 11. @Netflix @NetflixIndia #Tudum,” the 30-year-old wrote on Twitter.
According to the streaming platform, the film is headlined by Gadot’s Rachel Stone, who appears to be an inexperienced tech, on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Dornan).
“What her MI6 team doesn’t know is that Stone actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organisation, 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," said Netflix in a press release.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
