The real story of how modern Saudi Arabia came into being (involving modern day Jordan and Iraq) would be even more amazing - but it'll never be made. The historical and religious legacy of that debacle is one of the reasons this wasn't filmed in Saudi (the other being the despicable Wahabis who run the joint!) I'm inclined to think the best thing about this one may be looking forward to see what Banderas does!Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-13950736912200340132011-12-12T14:21:48.149+01:002011-12-12T14:21:48.149+01:00@Hufstader
