Saudi Arabia big movie about Khalid ibn Al Walid by Alik Sakharov is all set for 2027!
Saudi Arabia’s about to make a splash with The Unbroken Sword. It’s a big historical movie about **Khalid ibn Al Walid**, who was a seriously amazing military guy back in the day. They’re promising a movie that’s huge, real, and gets you right in the feels.
People are already talking about it, not just because of the story, but also who’s making it. They’re planning to show it everywhere in 2027, so it could be a big deal for movies from the Middle East and history buffs in general.
Alik Sakharov of Game of Thrones Fame to Direct
Alik Sakharov is in charge of this thing. He’s the guy who worked on Game of Thrones, Rome, The Sopranos, and Marco Polo. He’s known for mixing people’s stories with big historical stuff, so him being involved is a good sign.
**Turki Al Sheikh**, who’s in charge of Saudi’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA), says Sakharov got hooked on Khalid ibn Al Walid’s story. Apparently, he even moved to where they’re filming for six months to really get into the history and culture. That’s dedication!
All Eyes on the Battle of Yarmouk
The movie will show how Khalid became a leader, but the Battle of Yarmouk is going to be a big part. It was a super important battle that changed everything, and it’s what made Khalid ibn Al Walid famous as The Sword of Allah.
By focusing on this battle, the Khalid ibn Al Walid movie wants to show the big war scenes but also get into Khalid’s head – not just as a fighter, but as someone who believed in something and had to make tough choices.
Saudi Arabia’s Biggest Movie Ever?
People are saying this is Saudi Arabia’s biggest movie ever, which shows they’re serious about getting into the movie world. They’re building huge sets in the desert, making tons of props by hand, and hiring people from all over to make sure everything is correct and looks awesome.
Richard Sharkey is producing, and he wants to make sure it’s up to international standards but still feels true to the culture. It seems like Saudi Arabia wants to be a big shot in the movie biz, like Hollywood.
More Than Just a Movie
The Unbroken Sword isn’t just about making money; it’s a big moment for culture. It’s bringing a key Islamic figure to people around the world, many of whom might not know about Khalid ibn Al Walid. It also shows that Saudi Arabia is trying to push cultural stories and new businesses as part of their Vision plans.
With everyone waiting for 2027, this movie could change how people see Islamic history on screen – in a cool, respectful way that everyone can get into.
