Upcoming British comedy, “The Infidel,” about a Muslim taxi driver who discovers he’s Jewish, has been pre-sold to a number of regions, including the Middle East. Samantha Horley heads up London-based sales and financing outfit, The Salt Company and confirmed the sales following a push at Cannes.
Written by David Baddiel, “The Infidel” is about an identity crisis focused on Mahmud Nasir, a blue-collar Muslim cabbie who discovers that he is adopted — and Jewish. The supposed “comedy of ethnic proportions” stars Omid Djalili and Richard Schiff. The film is currently in post-production and is produced by Slingshot with Revolver.
