Muhammad Hoblos – About the Last Chance Movie

			sec, first of all, I mean, just tell us about your involvement in this movie, and why you thought it
was important to, you know, be involved in that?
		

			Well, okay, so
		

			we honestly never, I mean, we never intended on making a movie. You know, we have a very serious
drug problem here in Sydney, which I'm sure you guys can relate to everyday in the UK. So we have a
very serious drug problem here. So one day, myself and some of the brothers were sitting around, and
we're thinking that maybe we should do like a three, four minute video, just to touch on drugs and
how serious it is in our community. So one led to another and then we filmed the little, we filmed
that segment, and it came out really well. So then we said to ourselves, man, this came out better
than expected. So let's add on to it. So back and forth back forward over the span of IE, what was
		

			supposed to be a full five minute video ended up being a 45 minute movie.
		

			And how long did it take to make the whole movie? Well, okay, so, so the whole movie, I guess, from
from the very first scene that we shot into the last one was just was just over a year. So just over
12 months.
		

			That's amazing. Now, obviously, it's very difficult sometimes, you know, in in our OMA, we have many
people like myself and Ali, who profess to be able to act, and we can't really act. But here you
have some very really fine actors in this film. And from what we can see in the trailer, very
believable. Yeah, really, really believable. Mashallah, so, was there a casting process? Or was it a
case of a couple of brothers who know each other say, let's just make a movie?
		

			Well, okay, let me tread very carefully. To be quite honest with you, there was really, there was
no, I mean, there was no real actors, you need to understand the very first scene that we shot had
no, head no, had no talking in it said, so there was no speaking and, and it was never intended on
being a movie. So the first thing that I thought had no speaking, and then because we kept adding
back and forward,
		

			you know, those brothers that didn't act had to learn how to act pretty quickly. So for me, I like
well, this movie, you know, I better kept productions
		

			where we sort of did our best.
		

			I mean, in terms of, you know, the part that you played, everyone who knows you, they know that you
have a very fiery way of delivering and masala very, very, very effective. It's like a wake up call.
		

			So, obviously, in the movie, you're pretty much playing exactly who you are. And, and we believe it
is very important to have that kind of element and that character in there. But once you're tempted
or other any other parts in there, where you actually let go a little bit and you're a bit more
freer, or is it you all the way through? Well,
		

			okay, now, the whole movie is, the whole movie is actually based on very true events. So everything
in that movie is something that has happened in my life or something that's happened to someone
that's very close to, and we want to get the movie as well and as real and as authentic as possible.
So throughout the movie, I play myself and I pretty much stay in character the whole time. In fact,
a lot of in fact, every scene that I speaking was not scripted. It was, you know, it was off the
bat. It was a one shot type. Whatever was on my heart, whatever was on my mind came out and it sort
of came straight off. And, and that we actually wanted that to stay that way because we wanted to be
		

			very raw, very genuine. We wanted people to believe that. So the whole movie is based on, you know,
is actually based on true events.
