'The Seven Dogs' will be the first film shot at Big Time Studios.
Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, has announced the start of filming for his new movie, The Seven Dogs. The film, featuring Arab actors Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz, marks a major milestone in Middle Eastern cinema with a production budget exceeding $40m.
Al-Sheikh shared the news on his Facebook account, posting a photo of the two stars and describing the occasion as a historic moment for both his career and the Arab film industry. He revealed that the film is based on his own story, developed by the Big Time team, with a screenplay written by Mohamed El Dabbah. The project is being helmed by international directors Adel and Bilal, best known for their work on Bad Boys III.
This film marks another collaboration between Abdel-Aziz and Ezz, who previously starred together in Kira & El Gin, a widely acclaimed box-office hit.
The Seven Dogs is also the first production to be shot at the newly launched Al-Hisn Big Time Studios, reportedly one of the largest and most advanced film production facilities in the Middle East.
While plot details remain undisclosed, the project aims to set a new benchmark for Arab cinema with its ambitious scale and cutting-edge filmmaking techniques.
