Cara Delevingne is set to play an elite daredevil climber in the new eco-thriller movie The Climb. This role serves as a passion project for Delevingne as she is known for being a true activist.
The film is written and directed by Hayley Easton Street. Street is an experienced VFX art director with credits, including Justice League and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Eclipse Films will produce the film, which Beta Cinema has boarded and will introduce to buyers at the virtual European Film Market.
What is The Climb About?
The Climb will follow six women who, as part of Greenpeace-led protest action against Shell Oil’s plans to drill in the Arctic, scale the tallest building in Europe, London’s Shard. The new project will shoot using virtual production technology, which has been previously utilized on shows such as The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett. The technology involves filming live-action actors and manufactured sets in front of large LED video walls. This technology has only ever been used in four films and four television shows before, but only one of these movies and two television shows have actually been released so far. The Batman, Thor: Love and Thunder, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania are the upcoming films, while Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Acolyte serve as the TV shows.
