Is this related to the new Rock the Casbah ?


I just found out that there is a new Hollywood movie called Rock the Casbah that's going to be realesed next year with Bruce Willis and Zooey Dechanel ?!!

No it's not, this is a Moroccan-french movie with Moroccan actors and the other is American-Afghan movie the only similar thing between them I could think of is they are both filmed in Morocco since a lot of American movies about the middle-east and Sahara were filmed in Morocco.

Yeah I guess you're right! the both films sharing the same title would be more of a good publicity than being overshadowed by the American film!

Hiam Abbas is palestinian and Nadine Labaki is Lebanese. Omar Sharif is egytian of lebanese origin. Lubna is all over the place. I would say it's an international cast with arab names.
