The launch of the promotional advertisement for a documentary about Queen Cleopatra on Netflix sparked a wide wave of criticism in Egypt and Greece, which reached the point of anger, due to the fact that the film’s heroine was dark-skinned.
Ihab Saleh, the director of the artist, Sherine Abdel Wahhab Al-Jadeed, expressed his dissatisfaction with the method of imitating the controversial Egyptian star, in the comedy program “Studio 23”, which is shown by the MBC network during the month of Ramadan, and confirmed in a tweet that he described as “my personal opinion”, that they will rush to take the necessary measures.
And in the echoes of the Ramadan show season, the series “Jaafar El-Omda” was the most interactive on the communication platforms, and in fact also in Egypt, where followers interacted in a funny way with the innocence of Jaafar, and the hero of the series, Muhammad Ramadan, monitored an aspect of this interaction through his official accounts on the communication sites.
The Egyptian series “Under Guardianship” is also enjoying increasing interaction on communication platforms, since its first episodes were shown in the second half of Ramadan.
In the Arab world, the series “Safar Berlik” concluded its events last week. It is a project that the late Syrian director Hatem did not write to complete, so that the Syrian director Laith Hajjo completed the task “to the fullest,” according to the opinions of many critics and observers.
Finally.. from the Ramadan drama season to the Eid Al-Fitr movie season in Egypt, where several films compete for box office revenues, including the action movie “Harley – Legend of the Asphalt” and the horror movie “Day 13”, while comedy dominates the rest of the expected season’s films. Like the movie “Ramses Paris”, which brings back Haifa Wehbe to compete in the Egyptian cinema.
