MUST WATCH: Trailer For War Drama ZAYTOUN, Starring Stephen Dorff!
In case you’re not so familiar with this movie, don’t worry – we’re here to inform you that Zaytoun is an upcoming war drama which comes from director Eran Riklis and stars Stephen Dorff in the leading role. The movie was the runner-up for the People’s Choice Award at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, and the good news is that today we have a great trailer from the whole thing to share with you!
Eran Riklis directed the movie from a script written by Nader Rizq, which centers on an Israeli fighter pilot who is shot down over Lebanon and must make his way across the war-torn country with the aid of an angry young Palestinian boy. In other words – sometimes the only friend you have is your enemy.
As you already guess, Stephen Dorff plays that fighter pilot, while the rest of the cast includes Alice Taglioni, Ashraf Barhom, Ali Suliman and Tarik Kopty.
Zaytoun is the story of the unlikely alliance between a 12-year-old Palestinian refugee and an Israeli fighter pilot shot down over Beirut in 1982. Their initial distrust develops into friendship as they make their way across war-torn Lebanon on a journey to a place they both call home.
Zaytoun comes to the UK theaters on December 26th, 2012. Still nothing about the US release date, but as usual – we’ll keep you updated! In the meanwhile, check out this trailer & let us know what you think!
