A U.S. trailer has been released for Werner Herzog‘s Queen of the Desert, based on the true story of Gertrude Bell. Nicole Kidman stars as Bell, a diplomat and spy who helped establish several countries in the Middle East.
The film made its debut more than two years ago at the Berlin Film Festival and will finally arrive in the U.S. next month. Queen of the Desert also stars James Franco and Robert Pattinson and will be in theaters and on VOD on April 14th.
Nicole Kidman and director Werner Herzog bring to life the extraordinary true story of a trailblazing woman who found freedom in the faraway world of the Middle East. Gertrude Bell (Kidman) chafes against the stifling rigidity of life in turn-of-the-century England, leaving it behind for a chance to travel to Tehran. So begins her lifelong adventure across the Arab world, a journey marked by danger, a passionate affair with a British officer (James Franco), and an encounter with the legendary T.E. Lawrence (Robert Pattinson). Stunningly shot on location in Morocco and Jordan, Queen of the Desert reveals how an ahead-of-her-time woman shaped the course of history.
