"Everyone will thank me for it".. Ahmed El-Sobky defends the "atheist"

Producer Ahmed El Sobky spoke about the crisis of the movie “The Atheist” after the screening of the movie’s promo, explaining that the reason for the attack goes back to the movie’s author, Ibrahim Eissa, as we always find people attacking him continuously.

Ahmed El-Sobky: The work does not attack the Islamic religion Producer Ahmed El Sobky continued, during a TV interview with media figure Nahal Tayel on the “Details” program, broadcast on “Sada El Balad 2” channel: “I want to ask a question, if the film was written by someone other than Ibrahim Eissa, would the film have been attacked? Those who are attacking are well-known and we will not mention their names. They are not attacking the film, they are attacking the author himself. The work does not attack the Islamic religion. Okay, guys, why don’t you watch the first film and then attack it.”

Ahmed El Sobky added that some people attack the work just because of its name, and I expected the work to be attacked in a big way, asking: “Does the film attack religion?” The work was approved by the censorship and remained under the censorship of artistic works for a year, and some scenes were deleted from it and we added other scenes, and I had to film scenes for the work again in order for it to be admired by the audience.

Ahmed El Sobky: Everyone will thank me when the movie is shown Ahmed El Sobky pointed out that the message of the work is great advice for young people, as everyone will thank me when the film is shown in cinemas. I also presented work in the action framework, commenting: “I made films that were silly and silly, and people still attacked me.” Ahmed El Sobky concluded that the work’s classification as 16+ by the censors is normal, as young people reach that age, and filming the work was not difficult at all, and the artist Sabreen presented a role that was different from what she had presented before.

Details about “The Atheist” A large number of artists participate in the movie "The Atheist" , including Sherine Reda, Mahmoud Hemeida, Sabreen, Naglaa Badr, Ahmed Hatem, Tara Emad, and the great artist Hussein Fahmy. The work is written by Ibrahim Issa and directed by Mohamed Gamal El Adl. The film's events take place in a dramatic framework, as the work deals with the issue of religious extremism and atheism that afflicts and spreads among young people, and the impact of the spread of such a strange phenomenon on society.
