Yücel designing poster for Kırmızıgül’s ‘Five Minarets in New York’
Yücel, favored by film producers as a result of posters he designed for Hollywood hits such as “Kill Bill,” “I Robot,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and the “Star Wars” trilogy, reworked the movie’s original poster as an initial step, but his new design will be unveiled in September, around two months before the film’s Turkish theatrical release.
The reworked poster features New York’s signature skyline in the background with minarets rising among skyscrapers. Yücel also added headshots of the film’s leading cast, which includes veteran stage and screen actor Haluk Bilginer, pop singer-songwriter Mustafa Sandal, who is making his first foray into feature film acting, and Kırmızıgül, who is playing one of the Turkish cops.
“Five Minarets in New York” will again feature a glittering cast, as was the case in Kırmızıgül’s two previous films. His debut, “Beyaz Melek” (The White Angel), brought together an ensemble cast of Turkey’s best known veteran thespians, including Yıldız Kenter, Erol Günaydın and Gazanfer Özcan; and his sophomore feature, “Güneşi Gördüm” (I Saw the Sun), featured yet another impressive lineup that included such names as Şerif Sezer, Altan Erkekli and Demet Evgar, as well as serving as a milestone in the career of young actor Cemal Toktaş.
In “Five Minarets in New York,” Kırmızıgül is being joined by US actors Danny Glover, Robert Patrick and Gina Gershon, a lineup that is likely to draw even more moviegoers to theaters than Kırmızıgül’s previous directing efforts.
Filming for “Five Minarets in New York,” one of the most anticipated films of the upcoming season, is currently under way in New York. Yücel, who met with Kırmızıgül this week on the film set in New York, told reporters that he believed the movie will be the most significant film in Kırmızıgül’s career, and added that it had the potential to “pave the way for even bigger success.”
“Hollywood’s big names agreeing to take part in Mahsun’s film is significant for both Turkey’s promotion abroad and for Turkish cinema’s potential of being marketed internationally,” Yücel added.
“Five Minarets in New York” will hit theaters on Nov. 5.
