Thriller The Climb, starring Cara Delevingne, has been picked up by German outfit Beta Cinema, who will launch worldwide sales at the European Film Market.

The Climb is inspired by true events and tells the story of six ordinary women who scale the Shard as part of a Greenpeace-led protest action against Shell’s plans to drill for oil in the Arctic.

The feature is the directorial debut of Hayley Easton Street, who has also written the script. Prior to this project, she worked as a visual effects art director, with credits including Justice League, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Thor: The Dark World.

UK-based Eclipse Films will produce. The Climb is set to be shot as a virtual production in the UK, with the shoot taking place later this year.
