Rockstar Artists Almost Ended up in Egyptian Jail While Working on Agent



Two former Rockstar Games developers have told Game Informer a bizarre, interesting, and scary story dating back to the early 2000s when the studio was developing Agent. Yes, that Agent that never saw the light of day.
The story goes something like this: a group of Rockstar artists went to Cairo, Egypt for a photography trip for Agent. They ended up being held under house arrest, almost had false charges slapped onto them, and nearly ended up in jail. The charges involved shooting pornography ? a punishable crime in Egypt. Then project leader Luis Gigliotti had to call the United States? embassy in Cairo to seek help, and was told by whoever answered the phone that the team was ?stupid? for attempting what they did. Apparently, there are legal challenges involved in extensively photographing Cairo.
