Usually found tracking down criminals and romancing Nathan Fillion’s Richard Castle in TV’s Castle, Stana Katic has used her hiatus from the show to seek out a little adventure. She’s co-starring with Raza Jaffrey in Amin Matalqa’s pic **The Rendezvous.
According to Deadline, the film – adapted from Sarah Isaias’ book A New Song – is in the style of movies such as Romancing The Stone and North By Northwest. It finds an unlikely pair racing to find a sacred Dead Sea Scroll hidden in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan.
The cameras have already rolled on the movie, which also features Alfonso Bassave, Ron Guttman, Glenn Fleshler, Darby Stanchfield and Nadim Sawalha, and was shot on location.
As to when the film will be out, that’s anyone’s guess, though it could show up before the end of the year. Katic will shortly be back on her TV day job and has also worked on romantic drama The Tourist. Jaffrey, who has appeared on Elementary, most recently shot US medical drama Code Black.
