Ian McShane (Deadwood, Hercules, Snow White and the Huntsman) has landed himself another villainous role, this time voicing a greedy and power-hungry merchant in Bilal, an animated feature being produced by Dubai-based animation and visual effects studio Barajoun Entertainment.
The film, which was first announced at the Dubai International Film Festival in December, is inspired by the story of the real life African hero Bilal Ibn Rabah, who was one of the most trusted companions of the Prophet Muhammad and born into slavery in the 6th century.??
