PanARMENIAN.Net - A new trailer for Werner Herzog's "Queen of the Desert" has arrived. The film follows Gertrude Bell (Nicole Kidman), an English explorer, who travels trough the Middle East during the early 20th century, AceShowbiz reports.

This sparks the beginning of a life-long adventure among the beautiful but misunderstood peoples and cultures of the Middle East."

"Along the way, her path intersects with archaeologist Lawrence also known as Lawrence of Arabia, and Major Charles Doughty-Wylie (Damian Lewis), the British Consul General in the Ottoman Empire.

The film is based on the true story of Getrude Bell, who was a British political officer and archaeologist. Produced by Cassian Elwes, Nick N. Raslan and Michael Benaroya, the movie is set for a release in limited theaters in the U.S. on September 30.
