'Really Rewarding': Gal Gadot on Serving Double Duty as Lead Actor and Producer on Netflix’s Heart of Stone

The upcoming action-packed drama Heart of Stone is extremely special to Gal Gadot . With the film, Gadot not only takes on the challenging role of the film's protagonist but also steps into the shoes of the producer. Sharing her experience working on the project, Gadot in a statement said, “It's really fulfilling to do both, because not only do you have input over the project as a whole, but your role in the film as well. It is really rewarding. I especially liked being involved in the story from the very beginning. It has made the role of Rachel Stone feel much more personal. You want your audiences to be visually interested. I like to think of going to the movies as an opportunity to experience interesting places. Not everyone gets to go to amazing places like Iceland, Italy, Portugal, the UK, or Senegal. So beyond great action, you get to see these locations you may not otherwise experience.” Helmed by Tom Harper, Heart of Stone also stars Jamie Dornan ( Belfast ) and Ali

iPhone 15 to Face Challenges Despite New Hardware Upgrades as Apple Acknowledges Market Slowdown: Mark Gurman

iPhone 15 — Apple's purported next-generation smartphone — is expected to launch in the coming weeks, but the Cupertino company will reportedly face challenges amid a tough smartphone market despite major updates that are tipped to make their debut on the smartphone. The iPhone 15 is said to be the first major upgrade since the iPhone 12 was unveiled in 2020, with upgrades to the display, charging port and faster processors, while the iPhone 15 Pro models could feature a more durable titanium frame and slimmer display bezels than its predecessor. In his weekly Power On newsletter , Bloomberg's Mark Gurman points out that Apple has finally acknowledged that “the smartphone market has been in a decline for the last couple of quarters in the United States.” As a result, the smartphone maker will have to do more to convince customers to purchase the upcoming iPhone 15 series, which is said to comprise the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus , iPhone 15 Pro , and iPhone 15 Pro Max .
