Financed by BBC Films, UK Film Council and Lionsgate UK, Lionsgate is handling the film's international sales.
Starring Ewan McGregor (The Ghost), Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) and Kristin Scott Thomas (Nowhere Boy), Salmon Fishing In The Yemen will be directed by Lasse Hallström (Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) and produced by Paul Webster (Brighton Rock, Atonement). It has been adapted by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) from Paul Torday's critically acclaimed best-selling novel.
Romantic fable Salmon Fishing In The Yemen follows government scientist Dr Alfred Jones (McGregor), as a fly fishing-obsessed Sheikh (Amr Waked) tasks him with a seemingly impossible task – introducing salmon to the wadis of the Yemen. With the British government desperate for a good news story in the area, the Prime Minister's fearsome spokesperson, Patricia Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas), seizes on the idea and makes Fred responsible for the success of the project. Finally won over by the charismatic Sheikh, Fred also begins to fall for his representative Harriet (Emily Blunt). Casting off his deep-set cynicism, Fred rises to the Sheikh's eccentric challenge, to go on a journey of self discovery and late-blooming love.
