CHARLES OKPALEKE:
How old were you when you watched the first Living in Bondage?
Living in Bondage is 27 years old, basically, I am 36 now. What that implies was that I was nine when I watched it.
You did not just produce the sequel, you also bought the rights of the original film, what led you to it?
Okay for me, I am in the entertainment industry. I have always wanted to branch into movie production, Nollywood of course. From business perspective, I wanted my movie to be a movie that has an existing brand that I could leverage on.
Coming up with my own script that would require a lot of marketing being a first timer in the industry who hasn’t made his name of course.
I started looking for a movie that has clout, branding attached to it, with a bit of marketing. I felt Living In Bondage was it, it was such a powerful story, it started Nollywood, if you look at Hollywood, they do a lot of remakes too. It was just perfect for me.
Much more when you continue..
