"Death on the Nile", first published in 1937, saw the detective on a vacation in Egypt and becoming involved in a love triangle gone murderously bad. The novel featured socialites, social climbers and high society's help in the cast of suspects.


According to a source, the talks are in a sensitive stage.


If the deal is sealed, Gadot would play socialite Linnet Doyle, recently married to the former fiance of a past friend.


Gadot is currently shooting "Wonder Woman 1984".
