A new, 3-minute trailer has emerged for Werner Herzog’s sand dune epic Queen of the Desert starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Damien Lewis and Robert Pattinson. It’s big and lush and features the well-placed (if overused piece of trailer music) piece from The Thin Red Line by Hans Zimmer (“Silence”) that will be easily recognizable.
The new trailer offers quite a bit of drama, highlighting Gertrude Bell (Kidman) as a rebel, lover, traveler, revolutionary and “the maker of kings.” Bell was a cartographer, explorer, archeologist and spy who became vital to the British Empire at the turn of the century in the Middle East, helping establish what is now known as Iraq.
Queen of the Desert will be released by Atlas Distribution Company but has yet to reveal a release date or rollout strategy. Their previous films, the Atlas Shrugged series, don’t offer a lot of faith in their ability to mount a release campaign or an Oscar one, for that matter, but it could still surprise.
