"Stephen Dorff has been added to the cast of Zaytown. The film, which is the first ever co-production between the UK and Israel, will be directed by Eran Riklis (Lemon Tree) and produced by Oscar-winning producer Gareth Unwin (The King&amp;#039;s Speech).  The Hollywood Reporter says that Dorff will play an as-yet-unconfirmed role, joining a cast that also includes Alice Taglioni, Lemon Tree actors Loai Nofi and Tarik Kopty, and The Kingdom&amp;#039;s Ashraf Barhom. Riklis said: &amp;quot;After The Syrian Bride and Lemon Tree, I thought I completed my &amp;#039;Middle East Cycle&amp;#039; but the fact is that as an Israeli director I feel it&amp;#039;s my duty to touch on the pain, sorrow and complexity of this region, to offer some hope and optimism, and to shine a light on the human drama behind and beyond the news headlines.&amp;quot; The script, penned by Palestinian writer Nader Rizq, follows the unlikely friendship that develops between an Israeli fighter pilot and a 10-year-old Palestinian refugee as they journey across war-torn Lebanon.
