As the first African Original for video streaming platform, Amazon Prime get released, there are some interesting things to note about the movie. The movie features different Nollywood stars including Tobi Bakre, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Chioma Akpotha, Tayo Faniran; and singers, Zlatan Ibile and Chike. The movie has been described as a ‘high-stakes, gritty and hard-hitting action crime thriller’.
The movie director and producer, Jade Osiberu spoke about the movie to our source, he said, “This is a story about friendship, family, destiny and fate. There are spiritual themes in the film as well. Shooting it in Lagos was definitely a challenge. It is an unpredictable city. One can make several plans but the nature of the city can throw one off balance.”
On her part, Etomi-Wellington noted that the movie showed a side of her that people were not aware of. She said, “Most people don’t know the physical side of me. It is a part I have been wanting to explore for a long time. I like to read a script and be afraid. The movie is incredibly authentic. It is like we are doffing our hats for the people of Isale Eko; we are humanising them.”
For Bakre, the movie is a project of many firsts for him. He said, “Gangs of Lagos’ is a movie of many firsts for me. It is my first time playing a lead character, and the first time I really let myself go to embody a character. It was indeed a special project. The synergy on and off set was amazing. We had such a beautiful ecosystem of positivity.”
