SADA ELBALAD ENGLISH – The film hails from scriptwriter Haitham Nabil and director Raouf Abdel Aziz.
Principal photography is underway.
This will be Massoud’s second Egyptian film outing after film “Fi Ez El Dohr” (In Broad Daylight).
That film also starred Eman Elassi, Mohamed Ali Rizk, Ehab Fahmy, Ahmed Gamal Saed, Mahmoud Hegazy, and more.
“Fi Ez El Dohr” is a thriller-suspense genre that revolves around an international gang whose head is Massoud and as his gang commits crimes across the world he finds himself caught up in romance.
The film was written by Karim Sorour, and directed by Markos Adel, in his first directorial debut. It was produced by Adel Saad via brand new production company “Signal Films”.
Massoud is an actor of Egyptian origin, born on September 17, 1991, in Cairo to Egyptian parents before he immigrated to Canada with his parents when he was just a few months old.
He made his international appearance in 2011 when he appeared briefly in episodes of the television series “Nikita” and “Combat Hospital”.
Massoud also starred as Jared Malik in the 2015 series “Open Heart”, and Tarek Kassar in the Amazon Prime series “Jack Ryan”. However, the actor drew attention with his role as Aladdin in Disney’s 2019 remake of the 1992 original film, which nominated him for a Teen Choice Award.

Over 900 HD screen captures from The Sacrifice Game have been added into the photo gallery. Don’t forget to stream the film on Shudder!
From director Jenn Wexler (The Ranger), The Sacrifice Game is headed to Shudder for the upcoming holiday season, and we’ve been provided with a release date this week.
The Sacrifice Game spreads holiday fear on Shudder beginning December 8, 2023.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Fantasia, “What begins as something all too familiar eventually gives way to something more satisfying and charming. The Sacrifice Game may be a holiday ruiner for many of its characters, but for audiences, it’s a holiday horror treat.”
Fantasia described The Sacrifice Game as “a gripping and stylish ‘70s-set chiller involving school girls, power-mad killers and occult prophecy,” filled with both “gore and lore.”
In the upcoming horror movie…
“The Blackvale School for Girls, 1971. It’s bad enough that students Samantha and Clara can’t go home for the holidays, but things take a deadly turn when a gang of cult killers arrives at their doorstep—just in time for Christmas.”
Mena Massoud, Olivia Scott Welch, Olympian Gus Kenworthy, Chloë Levine, Madison Baines, Derek Johns, Laurent Pitre and Georgia Acken star.
Shot in Oka, Quebec, the film is co-written by Wexler and Sean Redlitz, and produced by Philip Kalin-Hajdu, Albert I. Melamed, Heather Buckley and Todd Slater.
Executive producers are Kalin-Hajdu and Melamed; Emily Gotto and Samuel Zimmerman of Shudder; Roman Kopelevich, Roman Viaris and Crystal Hill of Red Sea Media; Mark Côté, Peter Phok, Mena Massoud and Olivia Scott Welch.
The official posters for Mena’s upcoming film The Sacrifice Game have been added into the gallery.
The film will have its Festival premiere this Friday, July 28th at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, at 9:30pm. It will also serve as the closing film at FrightFest in London on Monday, August 28th at 9:15pm.
