HOLLYWOOD — Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac will co-star in an epic about the Armenian genocide film, called “The Promise.” The funding of the film is by billionaire Kirk Kerkorian, according to a report by Showbizz*411
Terry George, of “Hotel Rwanda” fame, would direct the film, who has stated, “I think the best way to describe it is a WW1 love story, in the style of Dr. Zhivago and Reds, set against the backdrop of the Armenian genocide.” Mike Medavoy will be lead producer. Bale and Isaac will be part of a romantic triangle with a yet- to-be announced actress.
The movie will be shot in Spain.
