Why do all this lazy producers keep reproducing an old film and renaming it, cant this guys write a new story. First it was Living in bondage now this smh

Movies remake are not new in the Western world as they do it all the time. Producers remake movies for numerous reasons which could range from popularity, to wanting to add a touch of glamour to it.

Ask yourself why some musicians remix old songs which sometimes turns out to be better than the original.

There is a certain level of quality and class you just don't tamper with... Rattlesnake, Glamour Girls, Living In Bondage, Things Fall Apart, etc, are such level of class.

Look at the choice of Ahanna character for starters... Is that not a joke taken too far??! They could and should have matched the actor of the past with someone of similar or even better physique and charisma.

Mr, take a chill pill. There is nothing wrong in remaking a movie cos it is also done in the Western world. As a matter of fact, this remake will be far better cos the original has a great story line, but production quality wasn't so great.

As for the choice of Stan as the lead character, I think it was a good decision cos that guy is a better actor compared to the former lead actor. As a matter of fact, I have always thought that Francis Duru lacks any form of charm or charisma and shouldn't be in front of the camera.

Nairalanders who saw this movie as kids probably saw it in the year 1996-1999, they were still in primary school then... these set of kids were born within 1980's. Most parents who saw this movie then probably must have bitten the dustgrin
No lie.. For me, both parents gone. Was in primary 4 then (January 96), will be 35 next years.. How time flies.. chai. Uwa bu onye tocha, o chere ibe ya!

Nkem owo was so good as odinaka. Paul igwe as ahanna was the bomb. Ejike metuselah n Ann Njemanze were in their prime.

Abeg make them no spoil my memory of that classic.

BTW, when dem wan remake Nneka the pretty serpent? I love the way Nneka keeps saying, "Nem anya n'iru"

I remember witch doctor of the living dead. It was shot in satellite town Lagos.

In those days they announce a movie on TV for months before it's finally released.

If my memory serves me right, Ahanna's father (Sonny McDon) died in part one; how can one easily forget the famous "Nurse kpotele'm daddy mu" line?

I remember the original movie, Rattlesnake. That movie could easily win an Academy Award, along with another early Nollywood movie "Living in Bondage."

Let's hope that the remake outdoes the original smiley


Please see this one, it's a 10 and a half. The story wasn't repeated word for word, comes with a nice twist and modification, plus better cinematography. Great lines, the script writer did well. This is no hype but fact. This one will only be enjoyed,appreciated and understood by those with artistic eyes, not just the average popcorn eater. At the cinema I over heard some young ladies ask "who be amaka igwe" then I knew these were the kids in the house. This is the perfect Nollywood movie to see from now till the new year at the cinemas.

That's your opinion sir... I still resolutely beg to differ.

Still on, I hope they pulled it off anyway... Cos, the preview I saw was quite underwhelming.

And I maintain they could have done better with the casting choices, not just the lead.

Exactly! Thank you...

I have nothing against the acting mien of Stanley Nze, but there equally great actors with similar build, appearance, and physique of the original Ahanna who would have fit into the role better.

Since the 1995 Rattlesnake had Francis Duru as the teenage Ahanna, now dat Francis Duru is an adult and still alive while not still use him as the adult Ahanna, dat wud have made more sense nd gives it a sense of continuation.

Not really..
Even Hollywood remakes Blockbusters..
Paying homage to a great Movie doesn't mean a lack of ideas..

Lol, my brother hollywood has been stagnant for years. it is so bad that, they now remake classic cartoons eg. Lion King, and call it live action.

Nollywood should not in my opinion be remaking movies at this stage. Hollywood is really old, so it is a bit understandable when they do it.

The bolded,
it depends, do you mean classic movies? Asin iconic movies. If yes, then you don't pay homage to such movies by remaking them. You pay homage to them by re-releasing them.
Classic movies are classic for a reason. It means they were perfect, no addition no subtraction is needed.

Al Pacino would always be Don Michael Corleone in the eyes of many people. Imagine one studio would now want to do a remake of "The Godfather". Julie Andrews would always be Maria in the eyes of many people. Imagine one studio would now want to do a remake of "The Sound of Music". That would be madness

Studios that do remakes of such films are just cash grabbing studios.

*Those are my opinions* Yeah i am that nostalgic!

**ADDED**
i even forgot to add Titanic. Dont allow me to go naked and swear for any studio that would even dream of doing the remake of Titanic. grin grin grin

The key to actually appreciating a movie is going there without expecting to see a block buster. Like I did, I went to relive an old memory and was greatly impressed because I didn't expect it to be better, but it was, mainly because the story was blended nicely, great additions to the original story to give it a different actual ending, unlike part two of rattlesnake where he was shot,but not exactly dead and we are still expecting "watch out for the return of rattlesnake" as was written at the end that was inconclusive. I haven't given anything away . Just go and see it and co e back to give your own review.

He could have done better with the 2 lead characters: Ahanna and Peter.

For Ahanna, Bryan Okwarra, Prince Nelson (BBNaija), Okey Uzoeshi, or Eyinna Nwigwe would have been more like it.


The character of ahanna requires ruggedness, the above mentioned are pretty boys good for a romantic or softer role. Stan Nze is perfect, the right age, right physique fitness wise, a good command of the Igbo language and interprets diverse roles well as seen in many of his movies. Bryan Okwara is a flat actor, what he even doing on your list? All his movies I have seen had poor delivery, his dressing and pretty looks is all he has to offer until he proves himself otherwise. Francis duru is out of it, seen him lately? Older and out of shape so no place for him here as lead or even supporting roles. All other actors were well suited as well for each character potrayed. Ramsey did a good job on the casting in this remake.

Note: Living in bondage was not a remake, but a sequel...meaning continuation of a story that's why it was about Andy's son and not Andy the old lead character himself. flash backs and references were added in the movie to link it up.
