Gal Gadot is currently one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood. Israeli actress starred last year in Red Notice and soon we’re going to watch her in Kenneth Branagh‘s Death on the Nile. Also, Gadot is set to reprise the role of Diana Prince in the upcoming Wonder Woman 3. And on top of all that, she’s also set to star in Netflix’s potential franchise starter Heart of Stone, Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in which she’ll play Evil Queen, and the new Cleopatra movie in which she’ll star in the titular role.

And even with all that, it’s still not enough. The 36-year-old actress now signed to star in the remake of Alfred Hitchcock‘s romantic thriller To Catch a Thief, Deadline confirmed. The original movie was released in 1955, and it starred Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Jessie Royce Landis, John Williams, Charles Vanel, and Brigitte Auber. The movie won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography, and it was also nominated for the Art Direction-Set Direction and the Best Costume Design.

The original film was based on David Dodge‘s 1952 novel of the same name. You can read the official synopsis here: “Notorious cat burglar John Robie (Cary Grant) has long since retired to tend vineyards on the French Riviera. When a series of robberies is committed in his style, John must clear his name. Armed with a list of people who own the most expensive jewels currently in the area, John begins following the first owner, young Francie (Grace Kelly). When her jewels are stolen, Francie suspects John, destroying their tentative romance. John goes on the lam to catch the thief and clear his own name.”

Eileen Jones is set to write this remake, and except for the fact that Gadot will star in the movie, no other information has been revealed. Only time will tell. And yes, the release date is also unknown.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
