THE MIDDLE EAST BECAME THE CENTER OF DRAMATIC EVENTS WHERE THE LARG- EST WORLD PLAYERS’ INTERESTS CLASH. THE NEAR EAST IS TAKEN AS A REGION OF CULTURAL, HISTORIC AND TOURIST INTEREST NO MORE. THE MIDDLE EAST, PARTICULARLY LEBANON, IS OF HIGH SIGNIFICANCE, FOR IT’S KNOWN AS THE CRADLELAND OF PHOENICIAN, GREEK, ROMAN CIVILIZATIONS, THOUGH THIS SIGNIFICANCE IS GETTING IRRELEVANT FOR MEDIA. TRADITIONAL FESTS AND CULTURAL EVENTS THAT USED TO DRAW TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD GO UNNOTICED THESE DAYS. THE PURPOSE OF THE FILM IS TO ATTENUATE THE NEGATIVE MEDIA COVERAGE. TO PROVE TO THE SATISFACTION OF COMPREHENSIVE AUDIENCE THAT TRAVELING OVER NON-BELLIGERENT LEBANON IS SAFE. TO DRAW ATTENTION OF TOURISTS, INCLUDING EUROPEAN AND RUSSIAN ONES, TO HISTORIC HERITAGE AND UNIQUE BEAUTY OF LEBANON’S NATURE THAT REMAINED UNDAMAGED DURING CONFLICTS AND ARE STILL KEPT IN A GOOD CONDITION. AS RETURN TO LEBANON PROJECT IS INTERNATIONAL, IT MAY NOT BE OF INTEREST FOR MAINSTREAM UNIVERSAL TV CHANNELS ONLY BUT ALSO FOR THE PRESTIGIOUS FILM FESTIVALS. THE FILM WILL BE DISTRIBUTED, AS WELL; THE PREMIERE WILL TAKE PLACE IN BEIRUT FOLLOWED BY MOSCOW, PARIS, NEW YORK AND OTHER CITIES.
A CHARACTER OF RETURN TO LEBANON PROJECT WILL BE ENACTED BY KEANU REEVES, WHO’S THE WORLD-KNOWN CINEMA STAR. KEANU HAS A COMBINATION OF EXCEPTIONAL DRAMATIC TALENT AND A SENSE OF INHERENT REFINEMENT, UNCONVENTIONAL MINDSET AND DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE. HE’S MANLY HANDSOME AND HIGHLY CHARISMATIC. KEANU IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND A TRAGIC PERSONALITY. HIS LIFE WASN’T EASY, WHICH INFLUENCED BOTH HIS DRAMATIC AND PERSONALITY MINDSET. HE’S HIGHLY CONVINCING IN HIS PERFORMING AND IN LIFE. HE’S OPEN WITH THE AUDIENCE, THUS WE CAN RECKON ON THIS OPENNESS IN OUR PROJECT. KEANU REEVES STARRED IN MORE THAN 70 FILMS AND RECEIVED 8 PRESTIGIOUS MOVIE AWARDS.
