UPDATE: The ultra-talented Gal Gadot has been added to the cast, via The Wrap.
EARLIER: I reported last month that Julian Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” was going to shoot “In the Hands of Dante” with Oscar Isaac. The film is now in production, and added to the cast are Jason Momoa and Gerard Butler, via Deadline. Schnabel has loosely based his film on Nick Tosches’s hard-boiled historical novel of the same name; the film follows a scholar who steals a valuable manuscript, defying the New York mafia.
It’s been seven years since Alma Har’el’s feature debut, “Honey Boy,” which was written by and starred Shia LaBeouf — she is now set to direct her next film, with a very talented cast.
