Behind the Burkha...

March 04 2007 20:00 PST

Bill Bannerman, an Assistant Director with legendary American actor and director, Clint Eastwood is working on a film called ‘Unveiled’ - a film about a Muslim Woman who has two husbands and a lover. It's a twisted film noir/sexy thriller/dark drama - and the FIRST Hollywood film to feature a Female Muslim Protagonist. According to Bill, "Behind the dark burkha, there lies a sexy, manipulative victim, who's dangerous as well as in grave danger." He's looking at all possibilities in casting the lead role - Hillary Swank, Penelope Cruz (aka Boobs Cruz!) have shown interest, but they want the actress to be a South Asian or from the Middle East who'll understand the character of a Muslim woman from the Middle East and lend a degree of authenticity in terms of accent, body language, knowledge of customs, etc.,etc.,etc.. Whoever it ends up being, it will be one of the most monumental casting decisions for the Indian film Industry as it means an entry into the Clint Eastwood camp, and also the lead role in a Hollywood film!!!
