DUBAI: Film AlUla announced on Wednesday that the production team of the cryptocurrency drama “Paper Empire” will film the entirety of the show’s 10-episode third season in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla.
The high-profile cast will feature Robert Davi, Denise Richards, Kelsey Grammar, Carole Alt, Helena Mattsson, Wesley Snipes, Anne Archer, Richard Grieco, Robert Knepper, Steve Guttenberg and more.
The action-drama series, based entirely in the region, is produced by Robert Gillings Productions, Tadross Media Group and Inner Circle Films.
The series is produced by Robert Gillings, Michael Tadross Jr, Bernard Salzman and Edward Pershing who have already embarked on pre-production activities in AlUla, with filming set to commence later this year.
Charlene Deleon-Jones, the executive director of Film AlUla, said in statement: “We are delighted the ‘Paper Empire’ team will be basing their new season in AlUla, we’ve worked with the creative team to provide locations which underscore the glamour, opulence and world-class production value of the series.”
Tadross Jr added: “After visiting AlUla earlier this year, we immediately knew we had to film here. The incredible landscapes and incomparable scenery are a perfect backdrop for the narrative’s progression, as the stakes become higher and more suspenseful, and the characters journey outside the US for the first time.”
“We are very much looking forward to working with an experienced team at Film AlUla and are sure the cast are going to be just as blown away by the setting as we were,” he added.
