The controversial best-seller 'Moses and Akhenaten' by Ahmed Othman is the basis of the new Hollywood mega-production, entiltled 'Nefertiti'. Apparently, it is soon to be filmed on location at the Egyptian Media Production City. John Heyman, a Hollywood producer, film distributer and film financier (whose production credits include Black Gunn, A Passage to India, Jesus, Hitler - The Last Ten Days and Daniel) will be involved in the project.
The article inter-twines the history of Akhenaten with the story behind the film. Quite fun.
