Kunle Afolayan is set to produce his latest movie “October 1″. The New York Academy alumnus is not resting on his oars following the success of his movies, Irapada, The Figurine;Araromire and Phone Swap. Unlike other film makers who wait to show case their movies to the world after post production, he has followed the ideal practice of letting the world in before serving the main visual dish.

His cast and crew are ready to hit the set, which comprises of Sadiq Daba, Kehinde Bankole, David Bailie, Kayode Olaiya, Nick Rhys, Fabian Lojede...read more on http://9aijabooksandmovies./2013/07/10/kunle-afolayans-new-movie-october-1-view-poster/

I always love the way Kunle casts actors for roles in his movies...not desperate to flood his movie with 'stars' just to attract undeserved attention even though he wants to sure make profit from his film venture.

God bless the works of his hands.

Btw, the title get as e be sha #Team October#

The kinda films Sholay likes (real life events). I trust Kunle anyway. I saw his tweet on this movie few months back

Fabian Lojede is a phenomenal actor; I love is role in 'Man On Ground' and I'm obsessed with his criminal Character in 'Jacob's Cross'.
Tunde Babalola wrote the script for 'Last Flight To Abuja' as well. I won't say he is really 'that' good. But sha sha sha.....make I see the trailer.

Oh! Kehinde Bankole is also a very good Actress

^^^^^^^ I have never heard about that Fabian Lojede. Good u enlightened me about his 'acting resume'.

Tunde Babalola... God help my ignorance. But at least, I sabi Kemi Adesoye.

I take it to mean you've not watched 'Man on ground' by Akin Omotosho? It's a nice film. It also stars Hakeem Kai Kazim.
And you don't follow 'Jacob's Cross'? Wao!

sholay2011: Tunde Babalola... God help my ignorance. But at least, I sabi Kemi Adesoye.

. In a society of too many 'Ignorant' people; You just have to be enlightened, else you will get dragged into the Ignorance

^^^^ Keep dissecting people's posts for 'internet research'.

yes! But you don't follow the series sha. Cos if you do, you suppose sabi his name

This is an excerpt from a press release I found;

................Written by Tunde Babalola, here's how NET describes it:

... a psychological thriller detailing the activities of a northern police detective, Dan Waziri who was posted to the western region to unravel the mystery behind a series of female murders in the community. He soon discovers that the prime suspect is Aderopo, the prince of the community. Waziri, however does not have plenty of time as he is expected to bring the Prince to book before the Nigerian flag is raised on October 1.

When we last reported on the project, director Akolayan was trying to secure a foreign co-producer outside of Nigerian, to better his international chances, stating...

"It is difficult to get a mainstream distribution deal, no matter how fantastic your film is, because it's a cartel, it's a clique... If you don't belong, it's tough."

It's a new face for Nigerian cinema (Nollywood) when international co-production deals are being sought (a trend we've written about in the recent past), in an industry that has long been almost entirely self-reliant in both the production and distribution of its movies.

^^^^^^ Thanks for the excerpt.
