It was filmed mostly in Arizona and in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. The director, Peter Berg, did visit the kingdom before filming started to do some research, but no filming took place here.

For one, the film was the first US film to be filmed in Sauid arabia, secondly it was filmed there under the patronage of the King, so the film made sure to keep its portrayal of arabs positive. in fact, the film was a fantastic action film, with the portrayal of terrorism being very realistic, while the film's main action star was a saudi cop! Im telling you, he is paired with Jamie Foxx but is a much more able officer than Foxx's character and kicks some major ass. this si the first film that will have you root for the arab. Even americans who watched the film fell in love with the character of the saudi cop and there is talk of an oscar nomination for him. I have absolutley no clue why the film was banned, I am an arab and proud of it and there was nothing in this film that offended me. I sw the Kingdom last nigth in Beirut.

Regarding the VIP, they are screen numbers 4 and 5... Keda Reda and Shoot Em Up are running there. 360 will open next year and it will be composed of 16 theaters.. including the KNCC head office to be located there as well. The Avenues is a real gem.. im sure you guys will all love it. And regarding the NO POINT of having 11 screens if we do not release as much as the US, we have released 8 movies at one time, and for Kuwait, thats a lot.
