SAUDI ARABIA TO SHOW CONQUEST 1453 DESPITE FILM VIEWING PROHIBITION
Perhaps the most interesting proposal received for the film from Arab nations, was from Saudi Arabia. Although public movie theaters have been prohibited for years, Saudi Arabia will be hosting a special showing of Conquest 1453.
With a 17 million dollar budget, Conquest 1453 is the most expensive film ever made in Turkish history. The film took three years to be completed and the visual effects were done in Mexico and the United States.
Conquest 1453 is 160 minutes long and has scenes where over 25,000 extras were used. Shooting was done on a set in Alibeyköy and included the construction of 100 meter-high walls.
