We got the first trailer for Jean-Jacques Annaud’s upcoming film, Black Gold, last month and it gave us a pretty brilliant look at what we can expect from it. In short, great things.
The film opened the Doha Tribeca Film Festival last month, and in conjunction with Cinémoi, you can read our review of the film here. With a strong cast that boasts the likes of Antonio Banderas, Mark Strong, Freida Pinto, and Tahar Rahim, we should be in store for something pretty excellent.
We’ve now got the film’s first poster to share with you, courtesy of FilmoFilia, which gives us a look at the main cast, as well as some of the dramatic and visually powerful imagery in the film.
“An adaptation of Hans Reusch’s novel The Great Thirst, Jean-Jacques Annaud’s epic adventure film is set in the 1930s Arab states at the dawn of the oil boom, the story centers on a young Arab prince torn between allegiance to his conservative father and modern, liberal father-in-law.”
The setting of the film is one that I’ve not seen on the big screen before, and it’s one that I’m definitely interested in seeing next year. The film hits the UK on 24th February next year, so we’ve got three months to wait, to the day. Without further ado, here’s the great first poster for the film. As usual, click to enlarge.
