Here is the first look at Antonio Banderas and Freida Pinto in Jean-Jacques Annaud's upcoming adaptation of Hans Reusch's "The Great Thirst," which is being touted as the biggest Arab-backed film production of all time.
The epic tale will follow the '30's-set rivalry between two Emirs in Arabia just as oil is being discovered while a young dynamic leader begins to attempt uniting the various tribes of the desert kingdoms. The film sees Banderas will play Nessib, one of the two rival Emirs, Mark Strong as his counterpart Amar, Tahar Rahim(A Prophet fame) as Strong's son Prince Auda, Freida Pinto as Banderas' daughter Princess Lallah, Riz Ahmed as Auda's half brother Dr. Ali and Liya Kebeda as a slave girl.
