The companies have signed a deal to create a feature film set in ancient Arabia.
Hollywood production house Pressman Film has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Studio 1932 to create an epic feature film which will be shot throughout the Kingdom.
Under the deal, Pressman Film and Studio 1932 will film an action-drama feature based in ancient Arabia.
The new partnership is the latest contribution to a flourishing film sector in the country and will be an opportunity to showcase not only the savoir-faire of the Saudi film industry but highlight the Kingdom’s diverse landscapes, regions, history and traditions through the camera lens.
The collaboration of cultural and creative value was made possible by the support of the Saudi Film Commission and the commitment to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the companies also highlighted.
Founded in 1969, Pressman Film has produced over 80 world-class motion pictures which have kickstarted the careers of several of the most prominent figures in the movie industry. Pressman’s classic productions include Conan The Barbarian, American Psycho, The Crow, Thank You For Smoking and Wall Street directed by Oliver Stone, the president of the International Jury of the 2022 Rea Sea Film Festival.
Speaking about the deal, Edward Pressman said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Studio 1932 on the development of films and tv to be made in Saudi Arabia for global audiences. Saudi Arabia’s commitment to cinema is one of the most interesting developments in the global marketplace for media today. We are proud to bring 50-plus years of industry experience as well as to share our relationships in the creative and technical spheres of production with the evolving landscape of Saudi media.”
Studio 1932 is a Saudi-born production company and was formed by a group of local investors with a common vision to elevate the entertainment industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into innovative and global standard quality.
