Hebrew Translation of ‘Destiny’ Not in the Cards, Say EgyptiansEgyptian TV’s guardian bureaucrats have refused to allow the historical series Al Aqdar (Destiny) to be translated into Hebrew.The series, which was written by Najib Mahfouz and translated into French and English, will in the meantime be translated into Spanish at the request of several European and American satellite channels. “Translating the series into Hebrew will be of no use when aired in Europe and the US, and also won’t be feasible from the marketing point of view. This is in addition to the patriotic side of the matter, which cannot be overlooked despite the fact that the series includes a direct response to Israeli claims…casting doubt on the fact that the Pyramids were built by the Pharaohs,” one TV official told Al Sharq Al Awsat. The series depicts the Pharaonic era through the life of King Khofo, who wants to kill the newborn baby Horas. The king mistakenly kills another baby without recognizing that Horas lives in his palace. The king helps Horas to assume a leading position in the country, with destiny controlling events in the country during that era. The series is written by Mohammed Al Ghiti, directed by Khaled Bahjat and costars Ezzat Al A’laili, Sumayya Al Ulfi, Sawsan Bader, Mahmoud Al Jundi and Eman – 17d63b.com Nagib Mahfouz’s ‘Moonlight’ to Shine on TV ScreensEgyptian Nobel Prize winner Nagib Mahfouz’s story Nour Al Qamar (Moonlight) will soon be illuminating television screens,Sawsan Bader Plays Housewife Blamed for Snuffing HubbyDirector Alaa Karim has begun shooting his television detective series Uyoon Hazinah (Sad Eyes) inside Al Khalifah police station,Wahid Hamed: My Films Support the Poor, Protect Me From CensorsWahid Hamed is an Egyptian prominent screenwriter whose films recorded success among critics and audiences and aroused controversy for their tackling daringly of thorny issues.Stars of Al Eyal Kibret to Gather Once AgainComedy star Said Saleh has announced that Adel Imam and Ahmed Zaki have agreed to appear as guests of honor in his new film Al Eyal Kibret Awi (The Kids Have Grown Too Big)Whiz Kids of Egyptian Cinema Return in ‘Awdat Azzaman’After tough negotiations, director Said Hamed has convinced “Kid” Fairouze, ex-child star famed for her film roles along with Anwar Wajdy, to return to the big screen.‘Bent Afandina’ Depicts President Abdel Nasser from Power to DeathEgyptian renowned Actress Yousra agreed to star in the new TV episode Bent Afandina taken from a story holding the same name and written by Mohammed JalalMohammed Munir Helps Bring Bahaus Back to TunisiaEgyptian artist Mohammed Munir is currently visiting Tunisia to bone up on his starring role in a documentary film about the life history of the late artist Paul Klee,Kamal Al Shinnawi, Hussein Fahmi Explore the Comical World of TelepathyEgyptian stars Kamal Al Shinnaawi and Hussein Fahmi are meeting for the first time in the TV series A’alam Bidoun Asrar (World Without Secrets). |
