Nollywood to release film 'October 1'
The movie “October 1,”
is slated to be released and featured in Nigerian theatres, cinemas and viewing
locations from October 1, which is Nigeria ’s 54th anniversary.
The film ``October 1,” premiered on September 28, was
written by Tunde Babalola, produced and directed by Kunle Afolayan, talks about
Nigeria and the verge of independence
from British colonial rule.
“This masterpiece, which was directed by Mr Kunle Afolayan,
was reportedly made with over N200 million and was shot in Lagos and Ondo
states for over forty days, after four months on pre-production. Mr Afolayan
believes strongly that there is so much potential for this kind of film and
that people will start believing in indigenous film projects after watching
‘October 1’.
“One thing is crystal clear; Nigerians and non-Nigerians
alike are waiting enthusiastically for the release of October 1. It will swarm
the cinemas to watch the movie that is poised to leave a long lasting positive
impression on all who see it,” a statement on its website; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October
_1_(film) said.
``Afolayan, who was also an award winner of African Magic
Viewer Choice Award and popular filmmaker, pointed out that ‘October 1’ is not
just an entertainment film, but also informative.
``For the older
generation, especially those who were part of independence, they will be able
to see themselves in this film. For the younger generation it's a platform for
many of them who don't know the story of Nigeria . We want the younger
generation to know where we are coming from and the older generation to see if
we are moving in the right direction," it explained.
The statement also said: ``The film had received
sponsorships from Lagos State Government, Toyota ,
Elizade Motors and Sovereign Trust Insurance.
``The producer though didn't want to do massive budget
projects at the time with the script original name ‘dust’ because it was acted
on dusty ground. He knew he had no choice, as he wanted to interpret the
writer's vision adequately because it is a `national film with a universal
appeal.”
Some key Nollywood actors made up the cast crew of the film
‘October1’.
Some of the actors are Kanayo O. Kanayo, who acted as
Okafor; Bimbo Manuel, as Canon Kuforiji; Kehinde Bankole as Miss Tawa, and
Kayode Aderupoko as Inspector Afonja.
Others include the famous veteran actor and broadcaster,
Sadiq Daba, who play lead character Inspector DanWaziri, while Deola Sagoe of
Haute Couteur plays the legendary Funmilayo Ransom Kuti, among others.
Kunle Afolayan, who was not left out in the cast like in his
previous films, featured in ‘October 1’ as a farmer with the name Agbekoya.
