The premiere of the
much talked about movie, Taxi Driver (Oko Ashewo) held over the weekend
at FilmHouse Cinema Apapa. The movie which stars Femi Jacobs, Saka,
Odunlade Adekola, Ijeoma Grace Agu and others has been generating a lot
of excitement because it’s the first time the three will be acting
together in a movie in a predominantly English language movie. Besides,
Odunlade who has become the king of mass market will be making cinema
debut in cinemas for the first time. It remain to be seen whether he can
translate the mass market appeal to the cinema.

A
strong contender as one of the most beautifully shot film ever, to have
come out of Nigeria. This dark comedy story brings a rich mixed bag of
emotions from love to greed to betrayal, shenanigans, contradictions and
self-discovery.
The movie directed by Daniel Emeke Oriahi will be in cinema across Nigeria from Friday, November 13.
Speaking on the movie, Dom Omope, the in-house producer at FilmOne said, Taxi
Driver (Oko Ashewo) is the last of three films I have produced this
year as head of film production at filmOne and it’s by far my most
ambitious of all.
Taxi Driver (Oko Ashewo) presented us with a great
and refreshing opportunity to create something visually stunning and
standout in Nollywood.
We are really excited about this moment in
Nollywood’s history where FilmOne is at the fore- front of the creation
of cinema films to add more richness and diversity to the industry.
The movie which will be in cinemas across Nigeria from this Friday, November 13 will see the iconic1980s Peugeot 504 Lagos Taxi with a miniature ‘eyo masquerade’ mounted on the bonnet touring the cinemas with some of the leading actors.
The movie which has been described as a good mixed
of talent and ambition by movie critics is expected to be a big box
office hit.
