Their job-to extend the frontiers of Western knowledge. But he also brings along 150 scholars and experts in all fields of science and art. Napoleon and his fleet of 400 ships and over 34,000 men invade Egypt.
The documentary covers the event that presaged the development of Egyptology. The History Channels series, This Week in History, will feature an hour-long program, Napoleon Takes Egypt. Journalists reported that callers to her cellular phone in London - still operating immediately after her death, heard: "This is Zouzou, leave your name and I will get back to you soon." Suad Hosny was as deeply afffected by her charasmatic portrayals as were here devoted fans. In the latter film, Hosny played an impetuous, fun-loving young woman. This week, thousands of Egyptians crowded the streets around a mosque in Mohandiseen, Cairo, to mourn the famed Egyptian actress, who died in London at the age of 58.Ī recluse in recent years, Hosny's career scanned more than four decades and includes some 79 films, including Hobb fil Zinzana (Love in Prison), co-starring Adel Imam, Ishaa'it Hobb (A Rumour of Love), with Omar Sharif, and Khali balak min Zouzou (Watch out for Zouzou), with Hussein Fahmy. If you've ever scanned an Egyptian television station, beamed the signal in from satellite or enjoyed classic Egyptian film on video, thanyou've likely seen the image of Egypt's girl next door, actress Suad Hosny. Until then, well have to depend on the documentary filmmakers who still flock to the wonders of the ancient land. Imagine how film production revenues could benefit the Egyptian economy! Well, were confident, someone in Hollywood will get a brilliant idea-film Egypt, in Egypt. No less than six major studio productions (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Gladiator and the upcoming The Four Feathers, Spy Game, and Black Hawk Down) have or are currently filming in the tiny, desert country. It seems Morocco is the focus of a North African film boom. So, close and yet, so far away from the Egyptian wonders.

The success of these Mummy movies should add up to increased revenues for the Egyptian film Commission, but they dont. That guy gutted it out, because he was just a mess.The third film in this franchise will be The Scorpion King, starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson, is currently filming. We did, ‘…and background!’ All the extras start going and I go, ‘Action!’ and Dwayne, he threw off the blankets and charged forward. I will always love him, because I’m like, ‘Dwayne, we’ve only got one day! I can’t put it off! We can’t wait for you to get well!’ He goes, just get the camera rolling, and as soon as I hear ‘Background’ I’ll jump up.’ And that’s what he did. It was probably 110, 112 degrees, and everybody’s in shorts and tank tops, and he would be covered in blankets, just shivering. He arrives on the set Friday morning and Dwayne had really bad food poisoning and heatstroke. I had one day with him, because, on Saturday morning, he had to fly from the Sahara desert to Detroit for a big wrestling deal.
On Thursday, he had hair and makeup and wardrobe. He’d never been in a movie or done anything like that. And, it’s true, you can’t fake that usually. I saw his stuff and went, oh, he’s got such charisma, he has just oodles of charisma and likability. “I didn’t know anything about the WWE or whatever, because it was just starting to explode,” recalled Sommers, when EW spoke to him for a 20th anniversary article about The Mummy in the new issue of EW.
