Cara Delevingne Set To Star in an Eco-Thriller Project Titled THE CLIMB

Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad, Valerian) has been cast in a new film project titled The Climb. The movie is an eco-thriller that is based on true events.

The Climb tells the story of “a Greenpeace-led protest action against Shell’s plans to drill in the Arctic, when female activists scale the tallest building in Europe, London’s Shard.” Delevingne takes on the role of the “daredevilish-climber who is the head and heart of the venture.“

The movie is being helmed by visual effects art director Hayley Easton Street, who is making his directorial debut. He’s previously worked on films such as Justice League, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Thor: The Dark World.

Most of the film will be shot as a virtual production using The Volume technology, which helped to create productions like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

Easton Street said in a statement: “My passion for this project is unwavering, it is the perfect subject matter, style and technical challenge for me. Using the skills I’ve honed over the last 20 years, ‘The Climb’ draws on every aspect of my life and work. I couldn’t be more excited about bringing this important environmental story to life, and letting the amazing characters, and thrilling action truly shine on screen.”

Eclipse Films’ Andrew Berg said: “This story is a global one and needs to be told. What these six women achieved is truly inspirational and audiences all over the world will resonate with it now more than ever. With Hayley’s experience on big studio pictures and her abundant talent as a storyteller, her drive and vision will culminate in an entertaining, thrilling and spectacular looking film.”

Beta Cinema’s head of sales and acquisitions, Tassilo Hallbauer, added: “Hayley wrote an absolute smash hit of a script, telling a story that could not be more topical and important all over the world right now – wrapped into a nail biting heist thriller. With a passionately committed and incredibly supportive Cara Delevingne on board, we are certain to create a global buzz for ‘The Climb’ out of Berlin’s EFM.”
