Hassan We Morkos


Hassan and Morkos traces daily entangles of Hassan Al Attar, a Muslim Sheik (Sheriff) , and Morkos Abdel Shahid, a Christian Theologian who, involuntarily, exchange roles in cosmopolitan Alexandria. Hassan (and Morkos) is an attempt into an all-sensitive issue: Copt-Muslim relations in an Egyptian context. Unsurprisingly, online calls are rampant to ban Hassan because of “blasphemous” content and intentions.Though basically a comedy, Hassan’s subplot is about a love relationship between Theologian’s and Sheik’s daughter and son respectively.Hassan and Morkos stars essential box office and comedian Adel Imam and international celebrity Omar Sheriff; written by Youssef Ma’aty; produced by Good News Group; and directed by Ramy Imam.Movie Gossip: Imam now moved out to his Porto Marina villa. Rumors have it he is down due to calls to ban his movie
