DUBAI: The founding father of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, is set to be the subject of a new Hollywood movie produced by STX Films.
Shekhar Kapur, who previously worked on “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” will direct the film.
STX Films’ chairman, Adam Fogelson, released a statement, saying: “Patterned after great movies like Gandhi, Selma, and Darkest Hour, this project will tell the story of a dynamic, powerful personality who helped create historic change.”
STX Films’ recent releases include “The Foreigner,” starring Jackie Chan, and the Oscar-nominated “Molly’s Game,” starring Jessica Chastain.
The UAE is currently marking the “Year of Zayed,” which marks 100 years since the birth of the late leader, who passed away in 2004.
