Gal Gadot will produce a movie based on “Borderlife,” a 2014 novel about an Israeli-Palestinian romance that was removed from school reading lists in Israel the following year. Sales of the book increased after Israel’s conservative Education Minister Naftali Bennett banned the novel, which has been published in English under the title “All the Rivers.”
Gadot and her husband and producing partner Yaron Versano are teaming up with Keshet International for the project, about an Israeli woman and Palestinian man who meet in New York, fall in love, and keep their relationship a secret from friends and family.
It’s uncertain whether Gadot will star in the film, but she will appear in several upcoming projects. “Wonder Woman 1984” is set for release in June and “Death on the Nile” with Kenneth Branagh is due in October.
She next shoots “Red Notice” with Dwayne Johnson, and she’s set to play two famous women in projects she and Versano will produce. She’ll star in biographies of Irena Sendler, a Polish nurse and social worker who saved thousands of Jewish children during the Holocaust, and play actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr in a miniseries for Showtime.
