The latest trailer of the epic biographical drama Queen of the Desert consists of a star studded cast including actors Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, James Franco and Damian Lewis in the lead role. The film tells the story of Gertrude Bell who is a British traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer and political officer. Her love for travelling and getting to know people from varied culture lands her in the Arabian deserts where she becomes to be known as ‘Queen of the Desert’.
The short trailer gives us an insight about the life of Gertrude Bell played by Academy Award Winner Nicole Kidman. From what we see, it looks like Gertrude is a woman of free spirit who cannot be tied down by one man. The trailer shows Nicole romancing James Franco where it looks like the duo are long lost lovers. Twilight fame Robert Pattinson is Lawrence of Arabia who is a mysterious character that accompanies Gertrude while exploring the deserts.
