It is reported that Christian Bell will join Oscar Isaac in director Terry George's new film "The Promise". The film is a love film, and the script is written by Robin Swikod, the screenwriter of Memoirs of a Geisha. The story is set in the last years of the Ottoman Turkish Empire (1922), while Chris, an American journalist in Paris, Michael, a medical student played by Isaac, and Anna, the heroine, will stage a sentimental love triangle in troubled times. The roles played by Bell and Isaac represent the rules of the new world and the traditions of the old world respectively. The collision of the two actors and the cultural symbols they carry will be one of the highlights of the film. The film will be filmed in southern Europe this fall and will be filmed in Portugal and the Canary Islands in Spain.
