Britsh Nigerian actor, John Boyega has revealed plans to make one of his Nigerian stories into a movie.
The actor, who is best known for his role Marvels Star Wars, stated that he has always been a fan of Nigerian movies and would love to invest in it.
In an interview with CNBC News, Boyega stated that he is looking at a budget of about 20 to 25 million Dollars. ‘We’re developing a few Nigerian stories and choosing one which makes sense budget-wise. We’re probably looking at an indie budget of $20-$25 million dollars’, he said.
One would recall that the actor’s last movie was on a budget of 150Million Dollars. This explains why he would place a 20-25Million Dollar project on a low level. In the Nigerian movie scene where budgets are not of much consideration in making a movie, such budget can be placed on an all time high.
He went on to disclose that he would love to work with a certain Nollywood actors.
‘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.
“I’ve been interested in Nigerian stories for a very very long time. It’s just that now I’ve worked to a point where I have the opportunity to do something.’ He added.
