Tralier Almusafer Is Here, Will It Bomb?

When you have your lead actor attack the movie director, and the co stars, you know this cannot be a good business decision. The Traveler "Almusafer" is the movie that was supposed to be independent and serious Egyptian cinema back on the map. We were told this will be good, but then something happened and Omar Sheriff was unhappy about the whole movie.

Omar Sheriff said the dictator of the picture is immature and has no idea what he is doing with the editing room. Then he turned around and called Khaled Al Nabouy, the other stat in the movie a light actor who wants to copy everything about me. There is that Lebanese beauty Cyrine Abedel Nour who is filling in for the babe role. To her credit thought, she has done a significant a number of movies and tv roles. She has also acting with Khaled in a Lebanese movie before.

Well this could be good, but from the looks of the trailer, I am left with more questions than answers. This is a Port Said tale of being part of a place. There is a number of questionable scenes cock fighting, forced sex scenes. I get the feeling this is a movie made for awards and film festivals. The cinematography says as much. That's not bad, it just does not make money that often.
