‘Supergirl’ Yael to lead Jerusalem 67
– Moviesapple
supergirl actors yael Grobglas is in advanced negotiations to play the lead role in Jerusalem 67. The epic period thriller retells the story of Israel's unlikely victory during the
Six Day War in 1967. Grobglas is set to play the role of a civilian haunted by a painful childhood who leaves her family to serve on the frontlines of war. Itzik Cohen, whose
acting credits include Fauda, and The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, is also likely to be finalized for a pivotal part in the film. False Flag director Oded Raz has been signed
on to helm the long-gestating project, which is being produced by New York-based lawyer Joseph Schick, who started developing it over a decade ago. Shooting is scheduled to begin
on location in Jerusalem on August 16. The key crew includes cinematographer Daniel Miller, who won the Israel Film Academy's Ophir Award for Fig Tree, and production designer
Yoram Shayer, who won Israel's equivalent to the Oscars twice with Ish HaHashmal, and Turn Left at the End of the World. The ambitious project is one of the first major
international productions to proceed under the Israel Tax Rebate Program for film and TV productions, which was created last year. Calling it a challenging project, Schick said,
"It's a war film and it's a period piece set in Jerusalem, and prior to the new Israeli production incentives program, we were trying to determine if we could recreate Israel in
perhaps Cyprus or Greece, or another location in the Mediterranean." He further shared that the tax incentive program was significant for them "because Israel is not a cheap place
to shoot and it allowed us to tell the story in the right place." Israel is currently torn by unprecedented revolts in response to the judicial overhaul plan of Benjamin
Netanyahu's government, which is considered as the most right-wing and religiously conservative that the country has ever had. The lawyer-producer shared that the ongoing turmoil
echoes the backdrop of "Jerusalem 67." “In 1967, Israel had social, cultural, economic divisions and it was not a perfect society by any means. And I think what happened then is
a reminder of how to handle that situation," said Schick. Also Read: Mel Gibson to direct Mark Wahlberg in suspense film `Flight Risk` This story has been sourced from a third
