Recently there was a series titled ‘El Cinderella’ that told the story of Soad Hosny’s life and now an unknown writer has decided to make a movie not about her life but about her death! This movie will come to the public in the form of a police action production and will require quite a large budget especially that it will be filmed in London in the same apartment where Soad Hosny allegedly threw herself from the porch! The writer of this movie which is titled ‘Ser El Shorfa’ (Secret of the Balcony) says that due to the controversial topic he has found no one to finance this movie but he is willing to pay for it with money from his own pocket.

Apparently the reason this film is not getting much support is the fact that the ending is in fact a vague and unhappy one whilst the Arab public wants a happy ending. The scenarist who has asked that his name is not published for the time being picked three actors to take part in this movie from what he says was a very large list of names. He says that the actors picked are ‘first class’ actors who stand for giving the public the truth as opposed to just a happy ending. Weather the intention behind this movie is to bring the truth or to make money from someone’s demise, it sounds like an interesting production which I cannot wait for.
