Queen Of The Desert Set To Start Shooting In December In Morocco?
 
We posted here the news of Damian Lewis joining the QOTD cast & that article mentioned production is scheduled to start in December.  The below article from  ComingSoon.net also mentions December – am keeping everything tightly crossed.  Would be so wonderful to have a concrete start date after all this time.
“Homeland” star Damian Lewis is set to join Nicole Kidman in Queen of the Desert, the upcoming period drama written and directed by Werner Herzog.
The film stars Kidman as Gertrude Bell, an explorer, writer, archeologist and attaché for the British Empire, who is credited with helping to catalyze the formation of the Middle East at the dawn of the 20th century.
Although production was originally aiming for earlier this year with both James Franco and Robert Pattinson attached to star, the film is now looking to lens in December in Morocco.
Nick Raslan will produce via his Palmyra Films banner along with Cassian Elwes and Michael Benaroya. Benaroya’s Benaroya Pictures banner will finance the film.
Bold portion my emphasis.

Lordy I’m so looking forward to Rob’s portrayal of Lawrence. Even with Kidman and Franco … who knew!
Michelle
Me too Maria, on all counts. Exciting 😀

I trust Rob’s instincts and I love to hear things really are going ahead with this one

Talk about a reshuffle. Looks like Rob and Hertzog are the only non-variable factors in this film. So long as that doesn’t change, I’m happy with whoever else comes on board. Thanks Michelle, for letting us know.

I cannot wait for this to start filming….

Right last night I watched Lawrence of Arabia remastered on TV… 3 hours! Great movie! But even if I’m sure it will be totally different from the original one (which is better I think) I can see Robert very well portraing major Lawrence!!!
