EXCLUSIVE: Emirati-British filmmaker Ali F. Mostafa has revealed he is developing a new feature spinning off his 2009 breakout debut City Of Life.
Revolving around three characters from different walks of life in Mostafa’s home city of Dubai, the original was a local breakout hit in the U.A.E. in 2009 and it remains one of the territory’s best-known films, both at home and internationally.
“I felt it was time to make a sequel because I started realizing how Dubai has changed so much. From 2009 to where we are today, not only is Dubai structurally, and physically changed, but when you go out you feel it has changed,” said Mostafa.
“It’s a lot more populated. We’re a lot more open to things we weren’t open to before. The region’s changed. There is less censorship in certain areas.”
The director, who is signed with talent agency UTA, was talking to Deadline at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where he is showing the horror short Night Shift, about an ambulance worker whose night shift takes a terrifying turn when comes up against a vampire.
Like its predecessor, Mostafa’s new film will revolve around three characters.
They will be a Saudi Arabian high school student who has moved to Dubai for a fresh start after a dramatic event in his life; a Nigerian security guard working in the nightlife world, and a Chinese character, who travels to the city in search of her sister who has been missing for a year.
“Each one of these characters connects, as was the case in the first film, and ends up changing the others’ lives without physically meeting one another,” said Mostafa.
For now, the project is working titled City Of Life Continuem but the director emphasizes that it will be standalone.
