Rosamund Pike

No, the Gone Girl star hasn’t announced her retirement from acting to become a tightrope walker. Instead, Rosamund Pike has just signed on to star in the upcoming political action thriller High Wire Act.

Written by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), High Wire Act is a Beirut-based thriller set in the ’80s, and due to star John Hamm (Mad Men) as a former US diplomat who returns to service in order to save a colleague from the group who killed his own family.

Pike is set to appear as a CIA agent assigned to protect Hamm, in the Brad Anderson (The Call) directed film which will begin shooting when the stars’ busy schedules allow, and hopefully see a release date sometime next year.
