"Nicole Kidman embodies trailblazer Gertrude Bell--a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, political officer and spy for the British Empire at the dawn of the 20th century--in Werner Herzog's upcoming drama Queen of the Desert," Deadline noted in featuring a trailer for the film starring Kidman, James Franco, Robert Pattinson and Damien Lewis.
Queen of the Desert, which was shot on location in Morocco and Jordan, had its world premiere at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival and has since been released overseas. Deadline reported that Atlas Distribution Co. "had originally acquired the U.S. distribution rights and planned to have a wide release in fall 2015. It was later acquired by IFC Films and will be released in theaters and VOD on April 14."

A clip has been released from Michael Clayton's new film The Dunning Man, "featuring a protagonist who faces the kind of real estate troubles that will make your home-hunting problems seem like a walk in the park." Based on Kevin Fortuna's short story collection of the same name, the movie stars James Carpinello and made its premiere at Cinequest earlier this month. The Dunning Man "will continue its festival run in the coming months," Indiewire noted.
