JEDDAH, 1 February 2007 — Saudi actor Abdul Ilah Al-Sinani will begin shooting a new film “Sinin Al-Rahmat,” in a few months. The story is of the Kingdom in the days before oil came to play a major role in Saudi life. Saleh Al-Fauzan is the director and scriptwriter of the film, which will be produced by Saudi Television in collaboration with MBC, Al-Sinani told the daily Al-Watan yesterday.
Al-Sinani is currently in a film about an ancient Arab king, Abu Jaafar Al-Mansour which is being shot in Syria and Jordan.
The actor’s television serial “Al-Duat Abwab Jahannam,” received unprecedented acclaim throughout the Arab world. The serial, which illustrates how terrorism has spread its evil in the Muslim world, was shown by several Arab TV channels last year.
