5 Must-Have Dishes On Eid
Simon West, the director of ‘Con-Air’, will be filming his next feature film ‘Antara’ in the Neom region in northwest Saudi Arabia.
The film is based on a true narrative and revolves around Antara ibn Shaddad, an imprisoned warrior who rose to prominence in the sixth century as both a knight and a poet.
‘Antara’ is a collaboration between writer and producer Alexander Amartei and producer Stuart Sutherland. The team will arrive in Neom early next year for a nearly three-month assignment.
In a statement, Simon West stated, “Bringing the story of Antara ibn Shaddad to the big screen and the masses is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to continue his legend”.
“The life of Antara is one of those relatively little-known true stories that prove that fact can be so much stranger than fiction”, the statement reads.
Mr. West went on to say, “The opportunity to film in the homeland of the Banu Abs tribe means we will keep true to the piece whilst helping to grow the emerging film industry in the region”.
“It’s a project I’m thrilled to be involved with and I am looking forward to creating something unique for a global audience”, the statement added.
