Gal Gadot will produce and possibly star as journalist Lisa Howard in an adaptation by Chris Brancato (Narcos) of a Politico article titled My Dearest Fidel: A Journalist's Secret Liaison With Fidel Castro, written by Peter Kornbluh.
“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,” Gadot said. “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 [Kroll].”
Kornbluh is a historian of U.S.-Cuban relations at the National Security Archive in Washington D.C.

Kroll said in a statement,
“I’m so excited to bring this story to life with great creative partners in Gal, Jaron, Peter, and Chris. This is a remarkable true story, anchored by an incredible woman, and lends itself to a dramatic and thrilling cinematic experience.”
