EXCLUSIVE: Fresh of his critically acclaimed role in Belfast that has brought Oscar buzz with it, Jamie Dornan looks to have found his next big role as sources tell Deadline he is set to join Gal Gadot in the international spy thriller Heart of Stone from Netflix and Skydance. Tom Harper is directing the pic from a script by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder. Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger are producing, along with Mockingbird’s Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn, and Pilot Wave’s Gadot and Jaron Varsano. Harper, Rucka and Patty Whitcher are exec producing.

Plot details are being kept under wraps. The project has been a high priority for Netflix following its competitive auction victory last January after Skydance packaged the property and took it to the market with several suitors vying for its rights.

As for Dornan, the A-lister has had quite the fall as his film Belfast has become one of the award season front-runners after its festival tour. Directed by Kenneth Branagh and also starring Caitriona Balfe and Jude Hill, the performance has delivered Dornan some of the best reviews of his career and with Oscar voting coming to an end today, a possible first-time nomination as well.

He can be seen next in The Tourist, a new series premiering on HBO Max on March 3. He was most recently seen on the film side in his scene-stealing role in Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. He is repped by UTA.
