EXCLUSIVE: Colin Teague is signed on to direct Esaaf(working title), a debut Saudi Arabian comedy feature from local star Ibrahim Al Hajjaj and former MBC Studios boss Peter Smith. BAFTA nominee Teague is no stranger to Saudi production, having directed the Tony Jordan-penned MBC Studios series Rashash and another big-budget Jordan drama, The Devil’s Promise two years ago. Former NBCUniversal International President Smith told Deadline Esaaf is “a really funny Saudi Arabic comedy that will hopefully shake up the market,” adding: “It’s like a Bad Boys or Rush Hour at the fraction of the budget.”
