“The Promise” (2016) – Armenian Genocide movie.
•
by Rodica Bostanica
Based on true historic events and set during the last days of the Ottoman Empire, “The Promise” follows a love triangle between Michael, a brilliant medical student, the beautiful and sophisticated Ana, and Chris — a renowned American journalist based in Paris.
Bale will play Chris, an AP reporter in love with both a woman and the danger of being in a combat zone amidst a world that is falling apart.
Isaac will play Michael, a medical student in love with the same woman but conflicted by old-world traditions and his heart.
The Ottoman Empire was dissolved in 1922 following the Armenian Genocide of 1915, which resulted in an estimated death toll of 1.5 million people.
The subject has been near and dear to Terry George, who in March 2013, was a guest of the Armenian State Pedagogical University, where the Irish filmmaker compared the Armenian genocide to the Rwanda genocide that he chronicled in “Hotel Rwanda.”

We should do more movies about ancient and mediavle Armenia,we are the only kingdom that wasnt conquered by Alexnder The Great on his conquest,we beat his army when he sent troops ginst Armenia🙂 but we helped him to fight against Persia.Ower Cilician kingdom was main logistic center during Cruisades and Cruisader kingdom too! 😉 Tigran The Great,Vartan Mamikonyan and so many cool historian movies cold be done.
Ok trailer load now you post it here,great 🙂
It looks pretty good. 🙂 By the way, if you get the chance, give it a 10 rating on imdb. Unfortunately the Turks are going crazy over there and the movie has a very small rating.
