Avi Will Next Star in Jerusalem ’67
The next film on Azulay’s schedule is Jerusalem ’67confirmed by Variety to be in development in May 2023.
The story centers on a civilian haunted by a painful childhood who leaves his family to serve on the front lines of Israel’s infamous Six Day War in 1967.
The film was produced by New York-based attorney Joseph Schick, who looked back “social, cultural, economic division” seen in Israel, likely to appear in this film:
“In 1967, Israel was divided socially, culturally and economically, and it was not a perfect society by any means. And I think what happened then is a reminder of how to deal with that situation.”
The film also features one of the most diverse military units in the world, which helps show how all kinds of personalities and people are equal in this story:
“In this brigade you would have someone who is very religious fighting alongside someone who is an atheist professor at the Hebrew University, a janitor and a lawyer. They were all equal. They were all the same. They all faced the same threat. So think. 1967 is a guide how to deal with internal disputes. In 1967 there was unity.”
Currently, Azulay’s role is unknown.
