It was a gathering of the stars as one of most anticipated films of 2017, ‘The Accidental Spy’, premiered last Friday.
The premiere, which held at the Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, Lagos, was graced by bigwigs in the Nigerian movie industry.
Speaking about the movie, its producer, Darlington Abuda stated that it is coming at no better time in our lives as a nation that is threatened by a cabal. According to him, ‘The Accidental Spy’ uses humour to address some of the issues standing in the way of the progress of the country.
“There is no better time for us to come together and contribute our quota to national growth, especially in the face of slavery currently going on in Libya. Shot in Nigeria and London, ‘The Accidental Spy’ is one movie that we are sure viewers will enjoy while getting them to think about what they can do for their country. Our intention was not just to entertain, but to draw attention to some issues that need to be addressed. And I’m certain we succeeded in doing both,” he said.
In ‘The Accidental Spy’, Emmanuel Prince (Ramsey Nouah) is the regular laidback nerd who just wants to live his life without getting in anybody’s way. A bad break up and a timely jackpot win sees him sojourning to London for a timeout. However, he is inadvertently caught in a criminal web and has to use himself as bait to take down a cabal threatening the Nigerian economy, bring down a highly dreaded assassin, as well as diffuse a bomb, among many other risky ventures.
The movie stars a cross-continental cast like Comedian, Ayo Makun, aka AY, Alibaba, Emma Oh My God, Rahama Sadau, David Jones David (Hotel Majestic), Bucci Franklin, Bryan Okwara, Hollywood actor, Miguel Nunez Jr. (Juwana Man), South African star, Thenjiwe Moseley, and British debutante, Christine Allado to name a few.
Present at the premiere were some of the casts and crew of the flick, as well as other actors, filmmakers and movie lovers.
