Filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are clearly honing in on the momentum they’ve gotten from the success of their credits on the last two installments of Sony’s Bad Boys franchise these days. They’ve since stepped up with Saudi actioner, 7 Dogs, which now has an official trailer as audiences inch closer to the film’s May 27 release in Saudi Arabia.
7 Dogs is led by Egyptian actors Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz in the respective roles of an Interpol officer, and a high-ranking member of the clandestine global crime syndicate known as “7 Dogs,” who are forced into an uneasy alliance to stop the spread of a dangerous new drug across the Middle East. Also starring are Monica Bellucci, Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, and German-Chinese actor/martial artist Max Huang, along with Egyptian actress Tara Emad and Lebanese actress Sandy Bella, among others.
Ivan Atkinson (The Covenant, The Gentlemen) produced the film based on an original story by boxing mogul and Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA) chairman, Turki Al-Sheikh, with a script by Mohamed El-Dabah. El Arbi and Fallah reunite on the project ad well with cinematographer Robrecht Heyvaert (Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Ms. Marvel), with stunts and action assembled by 87Eleven and stunt coordinator Stephen Dunlevy (Mad Max: Fury Road, John Wick).
