Lotfy Labib’s Legacy | 5 Films That Simply Wouldn’t Be the Same Without Him

The trailer for Eternity has finally dropped, and it's not your average love story&mdash;not even close. This one takes place after death. Literally.
Elizabeth Olsen stars as Joan, a woman who wakes up in a strange afterlife waiting room known as &ldquo;The Junction.&rdquo; There, she&rsquo;s given seven days to make an impossible decision: spend eternity with her first love, Luke (Callum Turner), or with her husband, Larry (Miles Teller). One is passion, the other is stability&mdash;and both are ghosts from her past, now standing in the same surreal present.
The tone walks a tightrope between whimsical and gut-wrenching. There&rsquo;s warmth, wit and a haunting kind of melancholy that lingers long after the trailer ends. It&rsquo;s the kind of story that toys with memory, love and the terrifying permanence of a forever decision. Visually, the film plays with soft light and dreamlike staging&mdash;everything looks a little too perfect, just off enough to feel uncanny.
And then there&rsquo;s Olsen. Stripped of superhero powers and soft girl tropes, she delivers something quieter, sadder, and deeply human. This is a story of grief, of longing, of the versions of ourselves that only exist in memory&mdash;and the people we carry with us, even into whatever comes next.
Directed by David Freyne and co‑written with Pat Cunnane (a Black List alum), Eternity premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 and is on track for a November 2025 theatrical release. Producers Trevor White and Tim White helped shepherd this offbeat love story into its final form.
If you&rsquo;ve been craving romance with philosophical teeth&mdash;Eternity looks like your kind of afterlife. It isn&rsquo;t just about who Joan loves&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how love defines us, even across lifetimes.&nbsp;

Eternity Official Trailer Drops — Romantic Afterlife Meltdown Incoming

After the success of Season 1, El-Watar El-Hassas is returning with a new storyline&mdash;and a new star. Ghada Adel steps into the lead role following Saba Mubarak&rsquo;s departure due to scheduling conflicts with other ongoing projects.
Although the official release date has yet to be announced, anticipation is already building for the upcoming season, which promises deeper emotional storytelling and fresh social themes.
A New Lead, A New Chapter
This season, Ghada Adel plays a character entirely distinct from the one portrayed by Saba Mubarak in Season 1. She takes on the role of a woman navigating personal struggles and confronting complex social challenges, signaling a dramatic shift in both tone and narrative direction.
By contrast, the first season followed Saba Mubarak as a strong-willed doctor caught in a painful love affair with a man married to her maternal cousin. That story centered on betrayal, revenge, and the more shadowed aspects of love and family.
New Cast, Fresh Vision
Season 2 features a new ensemble cast, including Kamal Abu Raya, Rania Mansour and Mohamed Mahmoud Abdelaziz. The previous season starred Injy El Mokadem, Haidy Karam and Mohamed Alaa.
While the creative direction remains under wraps, the introduction of new characters and storylines suggests an anthology-style structure&mdash;where each season explores distinct themes and relationships while maintaining the same emotionally resonant tone that defined El-Watar El-Hassas.

Ghada Adel in Season 2 of “El-Watar El-Hassas” with a Brand-New Storyline

With only two episodes released, the much-anticipated series "220 Days" is already capturing audience attention. While it initially appears to be a traditional love story, the narrative takes a poignant and unexpected turn&mdash;exploring themes of mortality, legacy, and emotional vulnerability through Kareem Fahmy&rsquo;s lead role.
A Father&rsquo;s Will to His Unborn Son
The story centres on Ahmed, who is diagnosed with a brain tumor just as his wife Mariam (played by Saba Mubarak) becomes pregnant&mdash;a long-awaited milestone for the couple. As his world begins to unravel, Ahmed is gripped by the fear that his child may grow up never knowing him. In response, he begins writing a series of intimate, heartfelt letters to his unborn son&mdash;offering life advice, emotional insight, and reminders to care for his mother in his absence.

Storytelling Through the Lens
One of the show&rsquo;s most striking elements is how Mariam&rsquo;s profession as a photographer is seamlessly woven into the narrative. When she enters a photo storytelling competition, it becomes clear that this motif will echo throughout the series. Every frame feels deliberate, charged with emotion&mdash;transforming the visual language of the show into a deeper form of storytelling, as if we&rsquo;re seeing the world through Mariam&rsquo;s lens.
A Marriage Built on Respect
If you&rsquo;re bracing for another toxic relationship like &ldquo;Assem&rdquo; and &ldquo;Ahlam&rdquo; in "Hekayat Banat," prepare to be surprised. Ahmed and Mariam&rsquo;s marriage is a rare on-screen portrayal of mutual respect and emotional maturity. They&rsquo;re not just in love&mdash;they&rsquo;re true partners, collaborating on life&rsquo;s challenges with compassion and unwavering support. It&rsquo;s one of the series&rsquo; most refreshing and quietly powerful dynamics.
Finally, "220 Days" may begin as a love story, but at its heart, it&rsquo;s a meditation on time&mdash;how much of it we have, how we choose to spend it, and what we hope to leave behind. With moving performances and resonant themes, the series poses a question that lingers long after the credits roll: What would you say to the ones you love if your time was running out?

What Would You Say to Your Unborn Child? Kareem Fahmy and Saba Mubarak Lead the Emotional Drama '220 Days'

A sequel to the beloved 1997 romantic comedy "My Best Friend&rsquo;s Wedding" is officially in early development&mdash;and it's already generating buzz.
According to Variety and The Wrap, Past Lives writer-director Celine Song has been tapped to write the script for "My Best Friend&rsquo;s Wedding." While a director has yet to be confirmed, the project marks a surprising&mdash;yet welcome&mdash;return to one of the most iconic rom-coms of the 1990s.
Could Julia Roberts Return?
Casting details remain under wraps, but actor Dermot Mulroney, who starred opposite Julia Roberts in the original, recently hinted at the possibility of a sequel. Speaking to New York Magazine, he revealed, &ldquo;There is talk of a sequel,&rdquo; fueling hopes that Roberts might reprise her role as Julianne Potter.
The original film followed Julianne as she tried to sabotage the wedding of her longtime best friend Michael (played by Mulroney) after realizing she was in love with him. The film also starred Cameron Diaz as Michael&rsquo;s fianc&eacute;e Kimmy, Rupert Everett as Julianne&rsquo;s confidant George, and featured Carrie Preston and Philip Bosco in supporting roles.
A Nostalgic Classic with a New Voice
Celine Song&mdash;whose debut Past Lives earned critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination&mdash;brings a fresh and emotionally nuanced perspective to the sequel. With her talent for capturing raw emotion and intimate storytelling, the new film could strike the perfect balance between heartfelt drama and the signature charm of the original.
Reflecting on his experience filming the 1997 hit, Mulroney said, &ldquo;Oh my gosh, the whole thing was a dream. I knew even when I got the audition for it with Julia&mdash;waiting in line with a whole bunch of other guys&mdash;that I got the role. I knew and all of Hollywood knew, it was going to be an exceptional movie.&rdquo;
No release date has been announced yet, but fans of the original are already wondering: nearly 30 years later, where are Julianne and Michael now&mdash;and what happens next?
