  • Basato su: The Blue Elephant

The Blue Elephant is a 2014 Egyptian drama/horror/mystery film produced and directed by Marwan Hamed in Cairo, Egypt. The story was originally translated into film from a 2012 Arabic novel written by the famous Egyptian writer Ahmed Mourad, and starring Egyptian actors Karim Abdel Aziz, Khaled El Sawy and Nelly Karim. The film talks about a man called Yehia, who unwillingly comes out of isolation after five years, to resume his service in El-Abbaseya psychiatric hospital, where he is in charge of evaluating the mental health of the criminally insane. It was followed by a sequel The Blue Elephant 2 released in 2019.

Production

Director Marwan Hamed said "I read the novel in one day, and I thought it was amazing we do not do thrillers and fantasy films in Egypt and I love these genres so I thought this could be the one. I felt very sorry for the characters, especially Yehia Rahed, the main character. I always thought that “The Blue Elephant” is about performance. I love working with actors and all the characters and their back-stories were really quite interesting.

The three production companies also contributed with "Arabia Cinema Production & Distribution" to help distribute the movie worldwide.

The Film The Blue Elephant, First got released on the 28th of July, 2014 in Egypt. A month later on Eid al-Fitr 14 August 2014 the movie was available for viewers in countries such as (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain)
