Famous Egyptian Star Stops Shooting Lebanese Movie Because it’s “a Shiite and Iranian propaganda tool”

They had to replace Hanan el Turk with a Syrian actress. The movie in question is touted as one of the biggest ever to be shot in Lebanon:

The story is set in the border village of Aita Shaab, from which Hizbullah fighters crossed into Israel and captured two soldiers in a deadly raid in 2006. […] “South of Heaven” is a story of a village whose people are prepared to sacrifice even their families to protect their land

It’s probably heavy on Hezbollah heroism and Israeli evil, but I’m sure Ms. El Turk knew that before she originally signed up for it. There must be something in the details which turned her off.
