Egyptian locations will soon take the spotlight in three wildly different titles all set for release next year.

While blockbusters “Wicked Part Two” and “Fountain of Youth,” from director Guy Ritchie, both make use of the country’s historical riches and otherworldly expanses, filmmaker Neil Burger will channel the breakneck pace of modern Cairo with his gritty espionage thriller “Inheritance” — set for release on Jan. 24.

Together, these heavyweight titles herald a standout year for a still nascent commission founded in 2019. A subsidiary of the Egyptian Media Production City (Empc), the Egypt Film Commission now serves as a one-stop-shop and unique point of access for international projects in need of shooting permits and approvals, coordinating and liaising with state ministries while suggesting local service facilitators for all production needs.

Since 2019, the commission has assisted 55 international productions, with some even benefiting from a 30% cashback incentive for titles using Empc premises and facilities.
