Variety says that the film "will chronicle Bell's life
as a writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer and political attache for
the British Empire. One of the first women to graduate from Oxford at the turn
of the 20th century, she traveled through the Middle East, defining the borders
of Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia."
Pattinson will play T.E. Lawrence, a British Army officer
whose writing earned him fame as Lawrence of Arabia, on whom David Lean's
classic film is based.
Cassian Elwes and Nick Raslan will produce the film, which
starts production in late fall.
