We've been moving along with the new production enough for me to say that Egyptian, but not Greek, mythology is going to be what I eat, breathe, and sleep for the next...seems like forever. The new film involves an archaeologist as our heroine, the 19th century, an expedition in Egypt, and a guy who claims he was once a pharaoh. Is or he isn't he? Stay tuned, kids. The screenplay is killer, we're in talks to get some respectable names on board for the lead roles, and it means going to places like Khan el-Khalili bazaar. We've got some marketplace shots for sure, and I personally want to get all up in Fishawi's coffeehouse which was established in 1773.
So most of this is going to be filmed in Morocco and also specifically in Cairo but there are some city shots too. We've got roles open for background, extras - first is a half-day shoot in Santa Ana around this time next month. We're going for shots by the historic courthouse. Extras don't have to audition but hell, if you feel like auditioning at the open casting call for a few roles bring a headshot and a resume.
Before all of this starts snowballing though, I'll be taking a couple weeks for a honeymoon. It's gonna take some time to obtain permission to shoot in Egypt anyway. Permits and shit, basically a bureaucratic nightmare - it's why most of the filming will happen in Morocco, they've streamlined the process, but there are just a few shots I won't compromise.
