Film director, screenwriter, and producer, Roland Emmerich, is working on a highly controversial remake as he plans to bring the multi-Oscar-winning Lawrence of Arabia back to screens. Known as “The master of disaster”, Emmerich has directed several major blockbuster films, including 1996’s smash hit, Independence Day, starring Will Smith, 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow, and 2009’s 2012. In partnership with writer, Anthony McCarten, known for Bohemian Rhapsody, the two are shopping around a three-season television series titled In Arabia (via THR). The new series will feature even more characters than in the already epic film. The pitch of a television show is intriguing, as the additional runtime could benefit the expansive story by giving the complex political setting and enigmatic characters more time to be explored.
