‘Ahmed w Ahmed’ Continues to Dominate the Box Office with Over EGP 33 Million in Total Revenue

With Garfield 2 officially on the way, we couldn&rsquo;t help but imagine: what if the world&rsquo;s laziest cat was born and raised in Egypt?
Forget lasagna. In this version, Garfield&rsquo;s true passion is molokhia &mdash; and his entire squad radiates pure Egyptian energy. Let&rsquo;s break it down.
Garfield &ndash; Taha Desouky
Taha Desouky brings just the right level of deadpan sarcasm to a Cairo-based Garfield.
He doesn&rsquo;t nap on the couch &mdash; he&rsquo;s sprawled out next to the fan on cold tiles, grumbling anytime someone dares walk past.
And his obsession? Not lasagna. It&rsquo;s molokhia with rice, a side of pickles, and absolutely no interruptions while eating.
His catchphrase? &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t talk to me unless you brought food&hellip; or turned on the air conditioning.&rdquo;
<a href="https://ibb.co/pr3h1gV4"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/qFRJDzqm/481204686-1096394935833247-8906929202814537634-n.jpg" alt="481204686-1096394935833247-8906929202814537634-n" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;
Jon (Garfield&rsquo;s Owner) &ndash; Ahmed Ezz
Picture Egypt&rsquo;s ultimate cool guy constantly being outsmarted by a lazy cat.
Ahmed Ezz, always in a perfectly ironed shirt, tries to impress Liz while Garfield ruins his day, chewing on his cologne bottle, hiding his shoes, or loudly mocking his voice notes.
He calls his mum on speakerphone for advice: &ldquo;Do you think he hates me? He hasn&rsquo;t moved in three days.&rdquo;
Even with all that charm, Jon&rsquo;s life is chaos&mdash;and Garfield&rsquo;s perched in the corner, silently judging every second of it.
<a href="https://imgbb.com/"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/1W5jHX6/469956318-616001170864060-5727737269964105872-n.jpg" alt="469956318-616001170864060-5727737269964105872-n" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;
Liz (the Vet) &ndash; Dina El Sherbiny
Smart, sharp, and far too busy to deal with Jon&rsquo;s daily flirting attempts.
Dina El Sherbiny&rsquo;s Liz walks into every scene with a clipboard and coffee, while Jon stumbles through a pick-up line &mdash; and Garfield fakes a dramatic cough just to steal her attention.
She doesn&rsquo;t fall for Jon&rsquo;s tricks, but she finds Garfield oddly entertaining, especially when he faints just to avoid a vaccine.
She rolls her eyes constantly&hellip; but deep down, she kind of loves the madness.
<a href="https://ibb.co/mV76Hfch"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/XrTSzcCF/480865915-1233793844768250-1720803709959860625-n.jpg" alt="480865915-1233793844768250-1720803709959860625-n" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;
Odie &ndash; Ahmed Amin
Ahmed Amin turns Odie into the ultimate golden retriever&mdash;Egyptian edition.
He talks. A lot. And barks at everything&mdash;the wind, a shadow, a water bottle, even his own tail.
He&rsquo;s the kind of dog who chases tuk-tuks, rolls in garden dirt, and ends up with a slipper in his mouth every morning.
Garfield pretends to hate him&hellip; but secretly protects him from the scary cats down the street.
<a href="https://ibb.co/1YqWtWbw"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/XfsRrRVv/Be-Funky-collagegery-2025-07-14-T151900-455.jpg" alt="Be-Funky-collagegery-2025-07-14-T151900-455" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;
Nermal &ndash; Mohamed Mamdouh
Nermal&rsquo;s energy in this version? Peak influencer.
Mohamed Mamdouh walks in wearing sunglasses indoors, carrying a ring light, and bragging about how many followers he gained on the way to the house.
He hums his own theme song and refers to himself as &ldquo;Egypt&rsquo;s Cutest Cat.&rdquo;
He constantly live-streams himself cuddling with Jon&mdash;just to make Garfield jealous.
Garfield&rsquo;s only mission? Ship Nermal somewhere far away. Maybe Mars. Or at least Sixth of October.
<a href="https://ibb.co/9kfyddg3"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/398SPPdY/202100757-346402250184099-3662097467408983258-n.jpg" alt="202100757-346402250184099-3662097467408983258-n" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;
This version of Garfield would break the internet, win awards, and probably spark a nationwide molokhia shortage.
And if it ever happens&hellip; we&rsquo;ll be first in line for tickets &mdash; right after Garfield finishes his fifth bowl of molokhia and asks for a napkin.

What If Garfield Was Egyptian? Meet the Cast of Our Molokhia-Loving Dream

What really happened behind the scenes of fashion&rsquo;s most iconic film? Here&rsquo;s what you probably didn&rsquo;t know.
 Anne Hathaway Was the Ninth Choice for Andy
<a href="https://ibb.co/Myph3Vw7"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/kV0yW8bX/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> Anne wasn&rsquo;t exactly first in line to play Andy Sachs. In fact, she was the ninth choice. After multiple rejections from other actresses, she famously wrote &ldquo;hire me&rdquo; in the sand of a studio executive&rsquo;s Zen garden. Sometimes persistence really is the best accessory.
 Rachel McAdams Said No&mdash;Three Times
<a href="https://ibb.co/5hJqBsj5"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/yFxLWgk8/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> Fresh off The Notebook, Rachel McAdams was Fox&rsquo;s dream Andy. But she turned the role down repeatedly, wanting to focus on smaller, more indie projects. Enter Hathaway&mdash;ready, waiting, and game.

For Spring? Groundbreaking&mdash;&lsquo;The Devil Wears Prada 2' Release Date Might Be Sooner Than You Think</a>
 The Film Was Optioned Before the Book Was Even Published
 Studio execs saw potential in The Devil Wears Prada early, so early that the rights were purchased after reading just the first hundred pages of the manuscript. Talk about a pre-release power move.
 Miranda Priestly Wasn&rsquo;t Based on Anna Wintour (Exactly)
<a href="https://ibb.co/B27bYktT"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/RTMfJ89Q/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> Yes, the real-life inspiration looms large, but Meryl Streep didn't just mimic Wintour. She studied powerful male figures in Hollywood and even borrowed Clint Eastwood&rsquo;s calm, cold delivery to shape Miranda&rsquo;s quiet dominance.
 Helen Mirren Inspired Miranda&rsquo;s Hair
<a href="https://ibb.co/bjv9mKMp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/8nxZs7LF/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> That iconic white bob? Meryl Streep credits Helen Mirren as the inspiration. The sharp, almost regal haircut wasn&rsquo;t in the original plan&mdash;but it helped define the icy authority Miranda carries throughout the film.
 The Cerulean Speech Nearly Got Cut
<iframe title="Miranda Priestly Educates Andy About Her Cerulean Sweater | The Devil Wears Prada | HBO" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-rDTRuCOs9g" width="1128" height="635" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> The fashion monologue heard around the world almost didn&rsquo;t make it in. The now-legendary &ldquo;cerulean sweater&rdquo; scene was considered too intellectual, but Streep fought to keep it. It&rsquo;s now one of the film&rsquo;s most quoted moments.
 Stanley Tucci Was Cast Just 72 Hours Before Shooting
<a href="https://ibb.co/9H1CS1hN"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/s9NMzNC2/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> Tucci stepped into the role of Nigel at the last minute after another actor dropped out. Despite the rush, his performance became one of the most memorable&mdash;and heartfelt&mdash;in the film.
 Miranda&rsquo;s Coat Toss Took Dozens of Takes
<iframe title="The Devil Wears Prada | Miranda's Most Savage Moments | 20th Century FOX" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/97XCFu-4RH8" width="1128" height="635" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> That dramatic coat drop on the assistant&rsquo;s desk wasn&rsquo;t effortless&mdash;it took around 30 takes to get the gesture just right. The coat was heavy, the angle had to be perfect, and Meryl had to nail the silent drama each time.
 Emily Blunt Improvised Her Signature Gesture
<iframe title="I'm hearing this and I wanna hear this" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nlRZkPSdrH4" width="1128" height="635" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> The &ldquo;I&rsquo;m hearing this&rdquo; hand flick that Blunt delivers with peak exasperation? Completely improvised. She borrowed it from someone she knew and made it her own&mdash;proof that sometimes the best lines don&rsquo;t need words.
 Designers Were Afraid to Upset Anna Wintour
<a href="https://ibb.co/wr0pyWP8"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/R4vQ20st/image.png" alt="image" border="0" /></a> Some fashion houses refused to lend clothes for the film, worried about offending Wintour. Luckily, stylist Patricia Field had deep connections and pulled together over 100 designer looks without ruffling too many editorial feathers.
The Devil Wears Prada remains a fashion film staple, but what happened behind the scenes is just as captivating. From casting chaos to costume diplomacy, this is a film where every detail&mdash;on and off screen&mdash;was dressed to impress.

'The Devil Wears Prada' Almost Looked Very Different—Here’s Why

Fans are always eager to hear about Leonardo DiCaprio&rsquo;s next move &mdash; and now, there&rsquo;s fresh insight into his upcoming film. &ldquo;One Battle After Another&rdquo;, set for release on 26 September, stars DiCaprio alongside Regina Hall, who has shared new details about the project.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film marks the celebrated director&rsquo;s return to the big screen following &ldquo;Licorice Pizza&rdquo;, which earned three Oscar nominations. Speaking to People, Hall called the experience of working on the film &ldquo;amazing,&rdquo; adding, &ldquo;I was so excited to be in a film he was making. I&rsquo;ve admired his work for so long.&rdquo;
&ldquo;One Battle After Another&rdquo; is based on Thomas Pynchon&rsquo;s 1990 novel &ldquo;Vineland&rdquo;. The story follows a group of former revolutionaries who reunite after 16 years to face a resurfacing threat. DiCaprio, 50, stars as Bob Ferguson, while Hall plays a character named Deandra.
&nbsp;<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hg8AGTyYMBA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The film also features an ensemble cast that includes Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, Alana Haim, Chase Infiniti and Wood Harris.
Hall said she was intrigued from the start: &ldquo;I was incredibly curious &mdash; &lsquo;What is this movie?&rsquo; There&rsquo;s so much humor, powerful messaging, and a lot of laughter.&rdquo;
She also praised the cast: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an incredible group. I love Leo, Benicio, Sean Penn &mdash; and Teyana is amazing.&rdquo;
Calling Anderson &ldquo;a genius,&rdquo; Hall highlighted his attention to detail: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no such thing as an insignificant part. Even if a character has one line, he&rsquo;s so deliberate in how he builds that world. I&rsquo;m really excited for audiences to experience the film.&rdquo;
With a visionary director and a powerhouse cast, &ldquo;One Battle After Another&rdquo; is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year &mdash; and possibly another landmark performance in DiCaprio&rsquo;s career.

Regina Hall Reveals New Details About Upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio Film

Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan is diving deep into ancient mythology for his next cinematic venture. Titled &ldquo;The Odyssey,&rdquo; the film promises to be one of the most ambitious projects in his career &mdash; blending Greek epic with modern storytelling, IMAX spectacle and a stellar cast.
Plot
Based on Homer&rsquo;s legendary epic, &ldquo;The Odyssey&rdquo; follows Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he embarks on a treacherous journey home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces mythical challenges &mdash; from the Cyclops Polyphemus and the seductive Sirens to the nymph Calypso and the sorceress Circe.
Meanwhile, back in Ithaca, his wife Penelope fends off suitors by secretly unraveling a burial shroud each night, holding onto hope that her husband will return.
Cast and Crew
Nolan has assembled a powerhouse ensemble to bring the myth to life. Matt Damon was the first major name attached to the project. He was followed by Tom Holland and in early November &nbsp;Holland&rsquo;s fianc&eacute;e Zendaya joined the cast, alongside Anne Hathaway, a frequent Nolan collaborator. Lupita Nyong&rsquo;o was also confirmed soon after.
By the end of November 2024, Benny Safdie and Charlize Theron had signed on. In January 2025, Jon Bernthal was added to the line-up, with Himesh Patel, Elliott Page, Bill Irwin and Samantha Morton confirmed later that month. Jesse Garcia and Will Yun Lee completed the cast in February.
Release Date
Filming is already underway, with Morocco and Sicily serving as key locations. &ldquo;The Odyssey&rdquo; is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026. A recently released teaser poster hints at a visually groundbreaking film &mdash; and possibly a historic moment in cinema.
Final Thoughts
Adapting a story as iconic as The Odyssey is no easy feat, but if anyone can bring it to life with depth, scale and vision, it's Christopher Nolan. With a world-class cast and his signature storytelling style, The Odyssey may not just revisit history &mdash; it could become part of it.

Christopher Nolan Takes on “The Odyssey”: Everything We Know About His Epic New Film

After racing past $144 million worldwide (including $55.6M domestic) in its opening weekend, Brad Pitt&rsquo;s new Formula 1 film didn&rsquo;t rely on star power alone. The marketing team delivered a masterclass in global promotion&mdash;here&rsquo;s how they made it a box office winner.
1. Real F1 Players Like Lewis Hamilton Having seven-time world champion British race car driver Lewis Hamilton involved isn&rsquo;t just for show. He&rsquo;s not only a producer but also provides insight to make the film as accurate and exciting as a real race. His name alone brings millions of dedicated fans on board and boosts the film&rsquo;s global credibility. Teasers even hint at cameos from other famous drivers and appearances at actual &ldquo;F1&rdquo; events.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Onj-CtJCHtg" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
2. Inspired by Racing Legends Though not based on a true story, the film draws inspiration from real-life &ldquo;F1&rdquo; rivalries and comeback arcs, incorporating themes like redemption, team dynamics and high-stakes competition on the world stage.
3. Costumes That Match the Real Deal The attention to detail extends to the costumes and racing suits, which are crafted to look identical to what drivers wear on track. Viewers aren&rsquo;t just watching actors&mdash;they&rsquo;re watching characters that look, move and behave like real F1 racers.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8yh9BPUBbbQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
4. Real Cars, Real Circuits In an unprecedented move, the film is actually shooting during real Grand Prix weekends. The production created a fictional team and car that joins the F1 paddock during live events. What you see on screen isn&rsquo;t CGI&mdash;it&rsquo;s real racing captured alongside actual drivers and teams, creating a raw and thrilling experience.
5. Following Trends and the Drive to Survive Effect &ldquo;F1&rdquo; has exploded in popularity thanks to &ldquo;Drive to Survive,&rdquo; and the film&rsquo;s marketing is riding that momentum. Behind-the-scenes content, teaser footage and Pitt&rsquo;s viral paddock moments are constantly trending across TikTok, Instagram and X.
6. Star Power &amp; Cross-Promotion Brad Pitt&rsquo;s appearances at live F1 events&mdash;walking the Silverstone track, mingling in pit lanes&mdash;create viral buzz. The film uses his fame to cross-promote across Hollywood and sports platforms alike.
7. Behind-the-Scenes Access Clips showing how cameras were mounted inside cars, Pitt&rsquo;s driving prep and the collaboration with F1 teams help build trust and fascination&mdash;perfect for diehard fans and skeptics alike.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CO1oPu9ByI8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
8. Collaboration with F1 and Teams The film partners directly with Formula 1, gaining access to circuits, garages and real branding. That unlocks official social media promotion and event-based hype around the globe.
9. International Appeal &amp; Multilingual Strategy With F1&rsquo;s massive global reach, the film is being released in multiple languages, with region-specific campaigns in places like Japan, Italy, the Middle East and the UK.
10. Soundtrack &amp; Score Big-name collaborations help the film connect with music fans too. The movie features 17 tracks, including Ed Sheeran&rsquo;s &ldquo;Drive,&rdquo; with rumors of even more A-list contributors. Think Top Gun: Maverick and Lady Gaga.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Cf1hKtrA9lg" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
From real circuits to TikTok trends, this isn&rsquo;t just a film&mdash;it&rsquo;s a full-throttle cultural event. As the buzz continues to grow, one thing&rsquo;s clear: the &ldquo;F1&rdquo; film isn&rsquo;t just for racing fans&mdash;it&rsquo;s a masterclass in modern movie marketing
