Image result for john boyegaActor John Boyega revealed that he is developing some Nigerian stories, with the intention of choosing among those he might finance and shoot. John Boyega "developing some Nigerian stories" at Produire Boyega revealed this during a meeting with CNBC Africa's Onyi Sunday on "Power Lunch West Africa", which he visited to promote his new film "Pacific Rim".
Boyega revealed he grew up watching Nollywood movies. He said:
I’m very interested in original Nigerian stories. I grew up on Nollywood. The first Nollywood film I ever watched was Blood Sisters with Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Ekeinde.
Boyega commented that his intention is to tell these stories, our stories, in a professional way. He said:
It’s a chance for me to develop these stories, merge Hollywood with Nollywood, to bring the genuine and most important stories to light but captured in a very important and professional way.
We’re developing a few Nigerian stories and choosing which makes sense budget-wise. We’re probably looking at an indie budget of $20-$25 million dollars.
