KARACHI: Robert Pattinson will reportedly star as Lawrence of Arabia in Werner Herzog’s historical drama “Queen of the Desert.”
The ‘Twilight” teenage heartthrob will reportedly play the male lead opposite to Naomi
Watts.
The film is about the life of revolutionary writer Gertrude Bell.
The 26-year-old star will play T.E. Lawrence, a British Army officer whose writing earned

explorer and political attaché for the British Empire and defined the borders of the Middle
East.
