Paramount Pictures has just supplied RopeofSilicon with the first pic from their upcoming film Sahara, starring Matthew McConaughey and Penélope Cruz, based on the Clive Cussler novel.
Opening March 25, 2005 the film centers around adventurer Dirk Pitt (McConaughey) who works for NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency), a government agency working to protect all things water-related. An encounter on the Nile with a beautiful U.N. medical investigator and neurologist, Dr. Eva Rojas (Cruz), trying to find the cause of a strange epidemic (that is driving North Africans to madness) leads them to suspect a vast pollution problem on the continent that threatens to kill much of the world’s marine life, and thus, the entire planet’s ecosystem.
