When I read that the fourth movie in the Mission Impossible series would soon be filming in Dubai, my mind went back to a conversation I had with a local official a few years ago.
Notice, he said, how often Dubai’s name was being mentioned in Hollywood movies. He pointed to this as evidence that the city-state had most definitely become a player on the international stage.
The conversation took place during the days of Dubai’s rise. As boom turned to bust and the global financial crisis struck, Dubai probably wished it had never made it to Hollywood.
