Great start to celebrating Rob’s birthday.  Queen of the Desert finally has a US distributor and release date of September – 1000 screens is not bad for an indie.  That’s going to be a busy month for some Rob fans at the cinema.  According to THR:

“Director Werner Herzog‘s Queen of the Desert, starring Nicole Kidman and James Franco, has been picked up by Atlas Distribution Co., marking the first time the entity will distribute a movie without Atlas Shrugged in the title.

Queen of the Desert tells the true story of Gertrude Bell, played by Kidman, who was a British spy, an archaeologist, and more at the turn of last century and ended up playing a major role in establishing the modern state of Iraq. She wielded an enormous amount of power for a woman of her era.

Atlas Distribution was founded by John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow to distribute their trio of Atlas Shrugged movies, and they said a year ago they’d keep the company intact, infuse it with $25 million and release more films.

Queen of the Desert is the first in that effort, and it is planned for release in late September on 1,000 screens.

….

The film also stars Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence, a contemporary of Bell’s who was immortalized in the 1962 epic film Lawrence of Arabia. The movie is produced by Nick Raslan, and Sierra/Affinity is handling international sale.”
