Well we had to see it coming people!
Rendition
Looks like it's gona be big - Reese Witherspoon - an Oscar Winner and Jake Gyllenhaal - an Oscar nominee!
Plot goes as follows:
"Witherspoon will star with Jake Gyllenhaal in Hood’s next film, Rendition, written by Kelly Sane. The plot finds a CIA analyst (Gyllenhaal) whose world starts spinning out of control when he witnesses the brutal interrogation of an Egyptian-American by the Egyptian secret police. Soon, he’s on the run for his life, and must in turn help the tortured man’s pregnant American wife Isabella El-Ibrahim (Witherspoon)."
Funny thing - the movie, which takes place in Egypt is shot in Morocco and South Africa.
It's quite a trend to have movies whose plots take place in Egypt being shot in Morocco. (English Patient, Mummy Returns)

Wow, that's a bit strange that they narrowed it down to the Egyptian Police. I too noticed all those movies that were supposed to be in Egypt were shot elsewhere. That's a shame since it would bring good money to Egypt, we must be charging people too much to shoot here then.
I always wondered why movies of the sort are shot outside of Egypt!
English Patient was shot in Tunisia, not Morocco, sa7? Well still, same idea...mesh fi Masr..
I think it's because Egypt is a touristic country w za7ma awy awy...Perhaps it's cheaper to shoot a movie outside of Egypt?!
LOULY!
