Wonder Woman star, Gal Gadot, is set to star and produce Irena Sendler.
The movie hails from Gadot and husband Jaron Varsasno, who have formed the production company Pilot Wave. The duo will produce alongside Marc Platt for Warner Bros.
The fact-based historical thriller tells the harrowing story of a woman’s defiant stand against Polish Nazi occupation and the incredible network she developed to care for and save 2500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto. Following her arrest by the Gestapo during the height of the war, the drama becomes a race against time to save not only herself but the identities of the hidden thousands who’ll face certain execution.
Gagot and Varsano said in a joint statement: “We want to help bring stories that have inspired us to life… Pilot Wave will create content that promotes the perspectives and experiences of unique people and produce impactful stories aimed at igniting the imagination.”
