Saudi Arabia’s Long Delayed First Hollywood-Style Blockbuster ‘Desert Warrior,’ Starring Anthony Mackie, Is Finally About to Surface (EXCLUSIVE)

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Three years ago, with some fanfare, Saudi Arabia’s first tentpole movie was announced, an action epic titled “Desert Warrior” shot in a scenic area around the site of the futuristic city of NEOM with a hefty $150 million budget. Helmed by British director director Rupert Wyatt (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”) and featuring a top notch international cast led by “Captain America” star Anthony Mackie, Ben Kingsley, and Aiysha Hart (“Mogul Mowgli,” “Colette”), “Desert Warrior” – which is set in at a pre-Islamic 7th century Arabia when Saudi was made up of rival, feuding tribes forever at each other’s throats – has since been caught in a seemingly endless tempest of reshoots, recuts, and infighting.

‘Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Review: 56-Year-Old Franchise Reborn With New Angle That Energizes Classic Primate Tale

After 2017’s masterful War of the Planet of the Apes, which completed the trilogy that started with 2011’s Rise and 2014’s Dawn and told the epic story of wise leader Caesar and the apes who created this whole new world, I really thought there was nowhere else to go with this franchise that had itself started so brilliantly in 1968 with the original starring Charlton Heston as an astronaut who lands in this futuristic world dominated by intelligent apes. Many other iterations would come, even a side foray by Tim Burton, but it was that most recent trilogy (the first directed by Rupert Wyatt, the final two by Matt Reeves) that really popped. But being box office successes, 20th Century’s new owner Disney knew there was more to be mined, and they were right.
