Gal Gadot and Sue Kroll Reunite for Warner Bros. Upcoming Film MY DEAREST FIDEL

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sue Kroll and Gal Gadot are partnering on the Fidel Castro movie My Dearest Fidel.

Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired the film rights to Peter Kornbluh's recently published Politico article, "My Dearest Fidel: A Journalist's Secret Liaison With Fidel Castro." NARCOS co-creator Chris Brancato is adapting for the screen.

My Dearest Fidel will center on ABC journalist Lisa Howard, who engaged in what Kornbluh describes as "intimate diplomacy" with Cuba's revolutionary leader. During her three trips to Havana, she positioned herself as one of Castro's leading American confidants, becoming a key asset in the establishment of a top-secret channel between Washington and Havana to discuss reconciliation after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Gadot told THR, "When I first read Peter's article, I was entranced by his thrilling account of a complicated, fascinating woman in the midst of a high-stakes, real-life drama. I knew immediately that I had to be involved creatively with telling Lisa Howard's story, and am thrilled to be producing this film with Sue."

Gadot recently starred in "Wonder Woman" (2017) and "Justice League" (2017). Her credits also include "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016), "Criminal" (2016), "Keeping Up with the Joneses" (2016), "Triple 9" (2016), "Furious 7" (2015), "Furious 6" (2013), "Fast Five" (2011) and "Fast & Furious" (2009). Gadot will next appear in "Wonder Woman 2."
