David Oyelowo to star in fantasy adventure “Come Away,” along with Angelina Jolie

What do you do when Hollywood has already made films based on Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan? You surely can’t do just another remake. How about you do a prequel that combines both classics into one? That’s the ticket! Per the Hollywood Reporter, that’s exactly what director Brenda Chapman, best known for her Oscar-winning...

“Kasala” starts modestly but builds into a fantastic character study of Nigerian millennial youth

There’s been so much talk about the upcoming indie film Kasala, which grandly premiered in Paris at the Nollywood Film Festival in April. Director Ema Edosio has described her film as “not your typical Nollywood story” and believing strongly that we have evolved past slapstick comedies and mushy love stories. First and foremost, Kasala is... Read More

“Foreigner’s God” is easily the most ambitious project to come out of Nollywood this year

Foreigner’s God, the period piece from director Ifan Ifeanyi Michael, hasn’t even been released yet. The film is still in the middle of its press cycle, with copious amounts of posters released and a garden-themed Instagram teaser gloriously introducing its female cast. I honestly think we are supposed to take this seriously. Ihe di woro... Read More

“Boss Of All Bosses” explores Naija’s corporate world with this new, funny trailer

In another edition of Nollywood copies Hollywood, I present to you the trailer of Ike Nnaebue’s upcoming comedy Boss Of All Bosses. The 2-minute-plus trailer is corporate satire meets absurdist hilarity, and has similar thematic beats with Seth Gordon’s 2011 black comedy Horrible Bosses. What more can I say? Nollywood is running out of ideas... Read More

“Maleficent 2” is definitely happening and Chiwetel Ejiofor is in talks to star in the sequel

After starring in 2016’s Doctor Strange, it seems Chiwetel Ejiofor is becoming comfortably entrenched within the Disney family. Last year, news circulated about the Oscar nominee playing the villainous Scar in Disney’s upcoming live-action reboot of The Lion King. Currently, Ejiofor is in discussions to appear in the live-action fantasy sequel Maleficent 2. According to... Read More

Hollywood meets Nollywood! Vivica Fox, Joseph Benjamin, Freda Steffl, Ada Ameh, Rob Hays and others star in new film “Alexandra

The last half decade has given us quite a number of Hollywood meets Nollywood movies, from Tobi (2012), Turning Point (2014) to Tempting Fate (2015). Still, though, these movies don’t necessarily have the best of stories or acting quality. Maybe with Alexandra, the newest installment in this sub-genre, we will finally get a cross-the-pond pairing worth our... Read More

[The Film Blog]: The Royal Hibiscus Hotel is another reason to be excited about Rachael Oniga

The movie is already up to a good start. After earning itself a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Ishaya Bako’s romantic comedy may well be on its way to cinema glory.

The Film Blog: We have to absolutely disagree with this review – and any other negative review of Ojukokoro

Rhimes’s show is made under the opposite circumstances from Fincher’s: nearly twice as many episodes, ratings pressure, constant threat of cancellation, a ravenous tweeting audience. These forces wreck other network dramas, and Rhimes’s previous shows have flown off the rails, but “Scandal” has only got stronger. It’s become more opera than soap opera, as the... Read More
