O'Toole and Sharif to team up again
Veteran Irish actor Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif are teaming up again for another big budget action film, Gilgamesh, about the first king of Mesopotamia, set in 5,000 BC.
The pair first worked together over 40 years ago, on 1962’s Lawrence Of Arabia.
Sharif told journalists at the Toronto Film Festival that he and O’Toole, who also appeared together in 1966’s The Night Of The Generals, have kept in touch with each other over the years.
“We lived two years in the desert together, with no women around, so it was like being in the army,” he said.
