The property of late billionaire Kirk Kerkorian is remaining true to the businessman and philanthropist’s promise to bring the disputed Armenian genocide to your big display.
The late vegas casino mogul Kirk Kerkorian earmarked $100 million of his own fortune to make a film in regards to the alleged Armenian genocide.
Kerkorian, probably one of the most important figures in developing Las Vegas since it’s known today, passed away in 2015 at the age of 98 with an estimated net worth of $4 billion. But before he passed, the majority that is former of MGM Resorts pledged $100 million to make a movie that highlighted the horrific events that occurred between 1915 and 1923 in Armenia.
The Ottoman government systematically exterminated some 1.5 million Armenians over a span of roughly eight years. But its successor, the Republic of Turkey, denies genocide ever took place.
Funded by Kerkorian, ‘The Promise’ is a new film that sets out to bring the Armenian conflict to theaters across the nation. It informs the fictional story of a love triangle place that is taking 1915 Armenia.
The movie is directed by Terry George, whose credits include ‘Hotel Rwanda,’ the 2004 drama that dealt with the Rwanda genocide, and movie stars Christian Bale, Oscar Isaac, and Charlotte LeBon.
