New Trailer Reveals 'Black Gold' In Them Thar Deserts

Around these parts, they call it Texas Tea, but in the Middle East they prefer another nickname for oil: "Black Gold."

And that's never been more true than today, as the first trailer for the new international historical drama "Black Gold" has just hit the internet. So exactly how do you say "I drink your milkshake" in Arabic?

Here's the basic -- and pretty darn compelling -- premise behind "Black Gold:" Antonio Banderas and Mark Strong play two warring Middle Eastern princes in the 1930's who have ended years of war by arranging a marriage between their children ("Slumdog Millionaire's" Freida Pinto and "The Prophet's" Tahir Rahim). Their fragile detente is destroyed, however, when the discovery of oil suddenly turns their homeland into the richest place on Earth.

So will love save the day? Or will the love of money ruin everything as usual? Check out the brand new trailer for "Black Gold," courtesy of Rope of Silicon and see for yourself:
