Pioneering Emirati filmmaker Ali Mostafa is reteaming with Image Nation Abu Dhabi on his next feature, The Worthy, which will go into production later this year.
The From A to B director will be joined by Hollywood veterans Peter Safran (The Conjuring, Annabelle) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious) who have come onboard to produce the project with Mostafa’s regional producer Rami Yasin (Sea Shadow, From A to B).
The Worthy is set in a dystopian future which has been plunged into chaos due to a chronic water shortage. The story follows a small group of survivors seeking refuge with the only clean remaining water source in the area. When two visitors infiltrate their compound, they soon become pawns in a test for survival, where only one of them shall be chosen worthy.
Mostafa commented on the upcoming film: “As the first action/thriller feature I’m directing, The Worthy is a new adventure for me. My producers, Peter and Steven, have produced some of the best genre movies ever made, with critical and commercial hits. They are really at the top of their game right now and their expertise will be invaluable on The Worthy. I’m excited to be working with them and with Image Nation again.”
