Domino Harvey, the inspiration for Tony Scott’s film, died in her Los Angeles home on the evening of 27 June at the age of 35.

“Domino never failed to surprise or inspire me over the last 12 years. She was a free spirit like no other I have ever known,” said director Tony Scott.

“Although our film is not intended as a biographical piece, hers was the dynamic personality and indomitable spirit that spawned an exciting adventure, not just on screen, but in real life,” said producer Samuel Hadida.

Smart. Darling. Defiant and dangerous. As well as beautiful. This is Domino Harvey and this is her real life story… well, sort of.

The daughter of respected actor and matinee idol Lawrence Harvey and model-turned-socialite Sophie Wynn (Jacqueline Bisset), Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was born into a life of wealth and privilege – a lifestyle that did not interest her. Even from her earliest years, Domino rebelled against convention and the jet set. At the tender age of eight her beloved father passed away and her mother looked to the stability of boarding school in a misguided attempt to tame her wild child. But nothing could repress Domino’s fiery nature – not friendships, not school, not her mother’s high society. Even the extraordinary excesses paraded before her during a brief stint at modelling paled in comparison to her own escapades. Not until she stumbled upon a job seminar recruiting aspiring bounty hunters was her thirst for excitement at long last quenched. To Sophie’s horror, Domino not only fell in love with the job but also with her fellow adventurers, who over the years would become her family.

And so our tale of adventure, action and suspense, tinged with dark comedy, begins…
