The film tells the amazing true story of archeologist/secret-service agent Gertrude Bell (played by Nicole Kidman), chronicling Bell’s “journeys of love and loss in the Middle East during the early 20th century”; as she shaped the region during the tumultuous 1920s.

Also starring are Robert Pattinson, James Franco and Damian Lewis; while a release date has yet to be set, check out this extended trailer:
