Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Nobody: 7:07pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
ME AND MY CREW ARE WORKING TOWARDS TO DOING AN ACTION MOVIE IN NIGERIA. WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE MATRIX, 300 AND SPARTACUS. ITS GOING TO BE A COMBINATION OF BOTH EPIC AND MODERN DAY GUN WAR LIKE IN EQUILIBRIUM AND DESPERADO. BUT BEFORE WE EVEN START WRITING THE SCRIPT, WE WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP. WE WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A DEMAND FOR SUCH MOVIES. WE WANT TO KNOW IF IT WOULD SELL. WE KNOW IT REQUIRES A LOT OF MONEY, EQUIPMENTS AND INTELLIGENCE BUT WE WANT TO BE SURE WE ARE NOT JUST WASTING OUR TIME. WILL MARKETERS EVEN BUY SUCH A MOVIE? THE STORYLINE WILL BE TIGHT,NO DOUBT. SUSPENSEFUL - TRUST ME, YOU CAN'T PREDICT A THING AND GET IT RIGHT. PICTURE QUALITY - PERFECT! SOUND QUALITY - BETTER THAN THE ONES IN THE MARKET NOW. BUT WOULD IT SELL AT THE END OF THE DAY? YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NEEDED PLEASE. 1 Like |

@poster if you go into this venture thinking of financial success rather than doing it for the merit then you will always fail. do the movie that you think is best FOR YOU, not because you think 9ja peeps will love it. too many Nollywood producers deliver garbage movies that are successful with the masses, talking about the same recycled theme, over and over again! |

If you're sure you guys got the technical details all sorted out, then Nigerians are surely gonna buy into it. Since you guys have all this, why not make a short one and see what people think about it first. But no matter what you do, always make something of international standards. Good luck. |

From my own opinion it will work well but you must you have a production just as you said and make strategic box office moves |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by shawonlese: 11:48am On Jul 25, 2011 |

Just let it be different from the mass production crap that is Nollywood right now. Its about time we injected some quality into our movie industry. Honestly, do these nollywood producers make those movies in more than 2 days? They really look like secondary school drama stuff to me. If you are going to bring something more serious, of course I would buy it and am sure am not the only one thinking this way right now. |

Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Nobody: 2:34pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
Thanks a million for your responses. Presently, there is no such storyline or concept in the market. And to make it clear, we are not copying the Whites. We just want to use the same digital effects they use in their movies since its going to be an action movie. One more question to you all, must we also use one or two known faces like Mercy Johnson, Ramsey Noah, e.t.c., for the movie to sell? I guarantee you guys that if this stuff pulls through, it would be one of your best Nollywood movies ever. |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by joeyfire(m): 2:35pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
An action movie will be a hit in nigeria if and only if you make it believable. Dont try and create effects that are beyond your budget, high-speed car chases should be avoided. Also if there's going to be a fight scene try and get a choreographer, otherwise it'll come out looking really fake |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Nobody: 2:54pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
who killed the captain alex MRbrownJAY:wow this is hilariously wrong shawonlese::DLMFAO 'thats good @ OP if your efffects are good and actors are not caught between trying to be americans and also trying to be Nigerians then you are good whats up with mike ezronye(hope am right) speaking like a pregnant toad when he plays the role of a rich boi |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by tEsLim(m): 3:36pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
If its well done maybe. But I've seen a lot of terrible movies that I dont even ever bother to watch them and dont let my kids watch them. Nigerian movies are too negative. Poor language use, bad scripts , bullsh.it, same actors , copy cat, and most of this people are not even educated and didn't really or never learned the trade from any art institution. Just wuruwuru to the answer |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Afam4eva(m): 3:42pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
If you must do a Nigerian action movie must you copy what's obtainer in Hollywood? Why can't you do a movie on the biafran war, June 12, Aba women's riot, Princess Moremi and Amina. Why must we always copy. |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by ajekpaks(m): 3:56pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
You want my honest opinion It's not gonna sell sshit, You just have in mind that you're doing something different, Maybe you'd win a few awards and all, I might go see it at the cinema but if Ramsey Noah is not kiss Mercy Johnson on the screens My grandma aint gonna go see it, and believe me to make money, you need me grandma to go see yer movie, |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by gaddafe(m): 4:45pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
ajekpaks: Is your grandma the only one in Nigeria?? If you ask me, it will sell so long as you exclude any of the known Nollywood faces. Use new faces so long as they are good. |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Nobody: 5:49pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
dude, honest respond, will not cover your budget, becos 80% of nigerian population who watch nollywood movies do not have the any interest in anything that has no love, or girls with oversized weave on and heavy make ups, they rather see a feel good movie where the good guy/girl comes from a poor background and is tormented by an uncle but later made it in life after he went to the CITY, and again in ur movie, put some juju scenes, we are the highest church going, juju lovers in the world, |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by Nobody: 6:00pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
A nollywood sparctacus and Matrix, chei i wan die with laughter why not do a nollywood Tomb Raider movie starring Geneieve Nnaji or a nollywood Indiana Jones starring Ramsey Noah as Indiana Jones |
Re: Will An Action Nollywood Movie Sell In Nigeria? by richardoz(m): 6:46pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
It will sell if it has a good story-line. |

sweat heart don't mind whoever says it wouldn't sell i laugh in ijaw, we all are ready for something new, we are tired of the same ''father i love him i want to marry him'', I guarantee you if its really good it will def sell more than you expect, and it doesn't matter if you use a popular face, I mean it doesn't have to be a popular face, just makesure you find a girl who is flexible enough to do lil stuff cos most girls are bunch of stiff wood speaking about that you can use me |
