Sir Patrick Stewart<\/strong> has arrived in Israel to begin filming for Hunting Elephants<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Directed by Reshef Levy<\/strong>, Hunting Elephants<\/em> is the story of a “precocious dreamer hoping to save his family home by enlisting a group of pensioners.”<\/p>\n

Originally, John Cleese<\/strong> was to have a role in the film, but he had to drop out of the project, and Stewart is Cleese’s replacement. Stewart will be playing an English gentleman who becomes involved in a “half-baked plot” to rob a bank.<\/p>\n

“It was a great honor to be given a role that was written for John Cleese,” said Stewart. “I have to see how I can make it my own. I always wanted to be funny, now I have a chance.”<\/p>\n

Stewart welcomed the chance to visit Israel again. \u201cI told my family and friends that I wanted to come back [to Israel],” he said. “I am happy to be here, not as a tourist but as part of an Israeli movie production.”<\/p>\n

Being in Israel will give Stewart a chance to learn more about the country and its role in the Middle East peace process. “\u201cI plan to leave Israel in a few weeks with a firmer opinion about what\u2019s going on here,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
