Hepta, the highly-anticipated adaptation of Mohamed Sadek's best-selling novel ‘Hepta: The Last Lecture,’ will be released in Egypt's cinemas on 20 April, announced MAD Solutions, a Cairo-based marketing and PR company for the film and entertainment industry.
"The first character [featured in the film] has been revealed, with Maged ElKedwany playing the role of Dr Shukri Mokhtar the lecturer," MAD Solutions said in an official press release.
Directed by Hadi El-Bagoury, the film will feature many well-known Egyptian actors, Maged El-Kedwany, Ahmed Malek, Ahmed Dawood, Dina El-Sherbiny, Yasmine Raeis, Jamila Awad, Amr Youssef, Hany Adel, Ahmed Bedeir, Salwa Mohamed Aly, Kinda Alloush, as well as singer-actress Anoushka.
The novel was adapted for the screen by Wael Hamdy, who is also known for authoring the screenplay for Mikano (2009).
El-Bagoury's previous major works include Wahed Saheh (2011) and the thriller Warda (2014).
According to the information released by the producers, Hepta – which means seven in Greek – takes the audience on a journey to the worn-out world of love, where Sadek traces the seven stages of the emotion: the beginning, the encounter, the relationship bond, the wakefulness, the truth, which is followed by the decision, and then the ending, or the Hepta stage.
