Mido Hamada Talks ‘Murder At The Embassy’ And Shooting At The Giza Plateau

Mido Hamada stars in the new mystery Murder At The Embassy. The feature, a sequel to Invitation to a Murder, feature Mischa Barton as talented sleuth Miranda Green. Hamada plays Mamoud, the head of security at Cairo’s British Embassy. Set in the 1930s and directed by Stephen Shimek, the feature contains several eye catching visual sequences. Hamada talked to Deepest Dream about the movie’s most impressive sequence which was shot in The Giza Plateau.

“We were at the Giza Plateau in Egypt shooting by the pyramids,” said Mido Hamada. You get a call sheet and you’re at your job and it’s five o’clock in the morning and you’re looking out and there’s the pyramids. There’s the sun coming up at the same time.”

“Sometimes you have to pinch yourself,” added Hamada. “It was one of, one of those days that sticks in my memory. It was incredibly hot. We were shooting in the height of summer in Cairo, so there’s nowhere to stand to get any kind of shade. It was an incredible experience. Both Mischa (Barton) and myself just kind of loved it.
