RED CIRCLE
We all agree that we love our movies to seize the spotlight whenever it comes on, right? Well, look no forward because we have created a column in our online magazine dedicated to bringing you the best in homegrown African entertainment; some of you know this as NOLLYWOOD … so How far Nollywood.
With Nora Awolowo as the producing engine alongside actor/ writer Abdul Tijani and flanked by Akay Mason in the directing seat, Nollywood is set to be hit by something different from the stables of Rixel studios in the shape of a feature-length movie that would leave your mouths ajar.
From big names to promising names to nostalgic names. A name that lit up the early years of many of us and became a household name, this latest instalment from Nollywood is pulling out all the stops as the producers decided to bring back supers story’s sweetheart Bukky Wright for… DRUM ROLLS PLEASE!! … Red circle.
It’s a crime thriller engulfed in the everyday lives of Lagosians, seen through the beautiful lenses of the AVMCA nominee Akay Mason. This movie promises to show the world how far Nollywood has come and lay a claim to the talents within Nigeria.
Speaking of catching attention and seizing the spotlight, this Nollywood blockbuster scheduled to be released soon caught the internet in a subtle yet catchy move; the cast, crew, and movie anticipators had their profile pictures substituted for just a red circle on a black background. This move got the most frenzy on the popular X app, formerly called Twitter. Some users of the online space felt left out of this initiation ritual and so opted to join in by changing their profile pictures… do I hear someone say cult following? … it could be.
The movie also stars the likes of Nollywood’s most bankable actor Timini Egbuson, one-time best actor winner of the AMVCA Tobi Bakre, famous skit maker Mr macaroni, the delectable Detola Jones, the ever-consistent Folu Storms, the inclusion of the rap god Rugged man (Micheal Ugochukwu), Far from home’s golden boy Mike Afolarin, Omuwunmi Dada, Jagun’s Jagun’s leading man Lateef Adedimeji and chief Femi Branch alongside a host of others stars.
Is this a murder mystery movie? Is it a cult movie or a high-octane drama? Please stick with us to get the latest details as they unravel.
