The first full trailer for Hwjn has been released.
It is based on the popular Saudi fantasy-romance novel and follows Hwjn (pronounced Hawjen), a kind-hearted jinn who lives unseen among humans in modern-day Jeddah.
He soon develops an unexpected connection with Sawsan, a young medical student. But as he unravels the truth of his royal lineage, he finds himself embarking on an epic journey to reclaim his birthright and battles ancient evils to maintain the balance between his world and Sawsan's.
Written by Ibraheem Abbas and released in 2013, Hwjn became a number-one bestselling novel in Saudi Arabia.
Iraqi director Yasir Alyasiri leads the film, featuring a predominantly Saudi cast including Baraa Alem as Hwjn and Nour Alkhadra as Sawsan. Other cast members include Nayef Althifery, Alanoud Saud and Mohsen Mansour.
A teaser trailer for the film was unveiled at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah in December.
Hwjn is one of the biggest projects to date under a landmark production partnership launched in 2019 by Image Nation Abu Dhabi, Vox Studios and MBC Studios, three major names in content and entertainment in the region. The alliance supports film and TV projects from inception to distribution.
In 2021, Vox Studios, the production arm of Vox Cinemas operator Majid Al Futtaim Group, announced plans to produce 25 Arabic films by 2026. Last week, the company unveiled the trailer for 3Al Zero, an Egyptian drama starring Mohamed Ramadan in the lead.
Ramadan plays a single father who is willing to go to any lengths to save his terminally ill son. Child star Monzer Mahran, who previously appeared in the singer and actor’s music video for Aladdin Lamp, plays his young son.
3Al Zero is being released in Egypt on August 2 and across the GCC on August 10.

A cheaper choice
Vanuatu: $130,000
Why on earth pick Vanuatu? Easy. The South Pacific country has no income tax, wealth tax, capital gains or inheritance tax. And in 2015, when it was hit by Cyclone Pam, it signed an agreement with the EU that gave it some serious passport power.
Cost: A minimum investment of $130,000 for a family of up to four, plus $25,000 in fees.
Criteria: Applicants must have a minimum net worth of $250,000. The process take six to eight weeks, after which the investor must travel to Vanuatu or Hong Kong to take the oath of allegiance. Citizenship and passport are normally provided on the same day.
Benefits: No tax, no restrictions on dual citizenship, no requirement to visit or reside to retain a passport. Visa-free access to 129 countries.

Haircare resolutions 2021
From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.
1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'
You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.
2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'
Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.
3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’
Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.
