The 39-year-old Jude Law will star in Werner Herzog's upcoming period drama, Queen Of The Desert.

The film will also have Naomi Watts portraying the character of Gertrude Bell, a pioneering explorer, writer, archeologist and attache for the British Empire, who is credited with helping to administer the modern Iraqi state at the beginning of the 20th century and Robert Pattinson who will play her collaborator T.E. Lawrence.

Though Law's role hasn't yet been confirmed, we hear from sources that he will play Charles Doughty-Wylie, with whom Gertrude had a two-year affair.

Looks like a great historical drama with a brilliant cast!
