The Four Compasses of the African Continent United For Kunle Afolayan’s London Premiere of The CEO
After
a glorious outing at the Toronto International Film Festival, London
was the next logical step for Kunle Afolayan’s blockbuster, The CEO.
Featuring a stellar cast
of heavy lifters, the movie starred Wale Ojo, Kemi Lala Akindoju,Hilda
Dokubo and featured the triple Grammy Award Winner Angelique Kidjo in
her debut role as a ruthless employment consultant.
As
the bar has been raised in Nollywood, it’s no surprise that Kunle
Afolayan hit us with a masterpiece of thriller with twists, turns and
intrigue. The producer/director just seems to get better with every film
and The CEO was further proof of that.
More
than the film though, was the cast. The fun they had while making the
film was clear from their rapport on the red carpet and even as they
joked and interacted during question time.
The entire cast was present in London’s prestigious Leicester Square Vue Cinema
The
ladies sparkled and dazzled; Aurelie in mesmerising green, and (killer
lady) in show stopping white. All eyes were on Angelique Kidjo as her
tiny frame, draped in traditional African print, buzzed and captivated
all in attendance.
The
gentlemen were effortlessly elegant in suits, with Wale Ojo stealing
the show in a matching shirt and blazer created from beautiful African
print also.
The night was glamorous and glitzy, the stars came out to shine, and it was a triumph all around.
Congratulations to Mr Afolayan and the entire cast!
