Characters

Molly McKenna

Molly McKenna is the hard-nosed producer of “Pharaoh.” She is the modern, high-tech multi-tasker who likes others to believe she’s in complete control. But with the production flailing in chaos, could she hate the director enough to ensure he never makes another movie?

Eda Brookes

Eda Brookes is an up and coming actress, and she might be a mega-star if she pulls off her first staring role. Eda is quite a talent and will make a stunning Nefertiti. But is she saving her best performance for the big screen or sabotaging the set so it will gain more publicity?

Jorge Jackson

Jorge Jackson is the newest, flashiest, big blockbuster director. No one seems to like his vision for the movie and he feels under-appreciated. Would he go so far as to sabotage his own movie just so he can get his revenge on everyone for “ruining” his movie?

Arthur Hitchens

Arthur Hitchens is the financier for “Pharaoh!” and plans on releasing the epic feature along with the original ‘director’s cut’ and new theme park. With all the disasters, he’s smartly taken out insurance for the movie and receiving money for the damages, but was this all part of the plan?
