FIRST DESERT WARRIOR
IMAGES FROM ARABIAN EPIC
While we are waiting for the first trailer and above all for the release date, I thought I could remind you of DESERT WARRIOR historical epic adventure movie set in the 7th century Arabia with first images from the film starring Anthony Mackie, Sharlto Copley, Aiysha Hart and Sir Ben Kingsley, which was shot entirely in Arabia last year. Rise of the Planet of the Apes Rupert Wyatt is directing. A decades long ban on Hollywood movies ended only in 2018 in Arabia!
STORY IS SET IN 7TH CENTURY
when Arabia is made up of rival, feuding tribes,
disunited and forever at each other’s throats. Emperor Kisra (Ben
Kingsley) has a fearsome reputation for being utterly ruthless. But when
the Arabian Princess Hind (Aiysha Hart) refuses to become the emperor’s
concubine, the stage is set for an epic confrontation. It is a battle
that, by its conclusion, will have changed the region forever and echo
throughout history. Escaping with her father, King Numan (Ghassan
Massoud) into the vast and unforgiving desert, Hind is pursued by
Kisra’s seasoned mercenary Jalabzeen and his bloodthirsty troops. Hind
and her father are forced to entrust their safety to a mysterious bandit
(Anthony Mackie), whose fighting prowess is second to none. The bandit
harbors his own secrets, which will play a large part in deciding the
fate of the battle. Hind inspires the fractious tribes to come together
for one last stand and unite against an army that outnumbers them and is
far better equipped.
Aiysha Hart was one of my fan casts were Arianne in Game of Thrones but in the end the showrunners cut the character. Is this a freshly made up story do you know - or is it based on a legend?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of her before, but I tend to avoid everything GOT related, thought that show was criminally bad just as HOD is. I think it is based on Arabian history.
DeleteDon't know any actor here...was it really filmed in a dessert? That would be quite rough..
ReplyDeleteIt was, in one of the Arabian provinces, they aim to attract Hollywood studios down there and become a massive new location for shooting films.
DeleteDon't know any of actors here...is it really filmed in a desert? It would be really tough.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteEpic battle over not wanting to be a concubine? Good grief.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is typical woman for you.
