Another Nollywood festival in Denmark months ago:

[b]"We know Hollywood, we’ve heard about Bollywood, the Indian film industry. They also have their African counterpart, Nollywood. The Nigerian film industry has been growing exponentially since its first movies in the eighties, followed by its first videos in the nineties and the realization that it could be a very lucrative industry. In 2009, more films were produced in Nigeria than in the USA, making Nollywood the second largest film producer (1) !
Zach Amata, pioneer of the movement, describes Nollywood as a unique “way of telling Nigerian stories”. During his visit to Copenhagen for the first Nollywood festival in Denmark, Zach insisted that Nollywood is not about meeting quality standards, but about making people feel the Nigerian experience. The movies produced by his son Jeta, however, have nothing to envy to the Western productions. His latest movie, Black Gold, deals with the struggle for the Niger Delta, and will have its world premiere during the Cannes festival this month – bringing finally Nollywood under the flash lights!"[/b]

That is a good step for progression for Nollywood; good news

[quote author=big_sean link=topic=800718.msg9586917#msg9586917 date=1321647845]Nollywood and Hollywood Black actors combining, NOT HAPPENING!!!!
Before some people crucify me, pls hear me out.
1) Genuinely, there's a cultural difference in what we consider entertainment (ask "akata" to watch basket mouth, and u will see exactly what i mean)

2) nigerians watch 9ja movies and hollywood movies (honestly, we watch everything, Chinese, Indian etc, .lol), black americans watch hollywood movies and tyler perry!

[b]Featuring roles [/b]on both parties would be a great idea, but we would watch, if osifo (for example), was in a tyler perry movie, will the international media watch if halle berry was in a nigeria directors movie (dont know any 9ja director's name of the top of my head, lol), will it generate the revenue to be profitable[/quote]I agree

[quote author=Inked_Nerd link=topic=800718.msg9586929#msg9586929 date=1321647985][font= Times]Anyone who honestly believes that Nollywood can actually rival Hollywood must be deaf, dumb, and blind. Nollywood needs loads of improvement before they get close to or the same level as Hollywood.[/font][/quote]

nex:
When a movie like AVATAR comes out with a budget of $500 million, and the average "Nollywood" movie has a budget of $30,000, how can they compete?! Abeg!

The threads article is about the Nollywood vs. Black Hollywood not Nollywood vs. Hollywood. The Black Hollywood & Hollywood industry are different.

HOW MUCH OF THESE HISTORIC FACTS BEEN PRESERVED? We should be concerned if the evidences of these historic past are not well kept. I am not saying we should embrace the past buy we should have a place for them in our society to remind us of who we are.

Actually many are being preserved in Ife if I am not mistaken but I agree with what you are saying

"I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I'm taking that cowl [Batman hood] off," the Oscar-winner told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. "I believe that the whole production wrapped two days ago, so it's all done. Everything's finished. It's me and Chris - that will be the end of that Batman era."

"The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I'm playing Batman."

wow, I hope this is not the end of Batman movies in general though because these new & refreshed batman movies are actually good, especially the dark knight with Heath Ledger; and I am not even a big Batman fan. I suspect they will get a new actor though, if the third movie is really successful

Any black person with any pride will be pissed after watching this nonsense video. I don't know where they are meeting all these terrible black men. My experience, especially with African men has been quite the opposite.

Cosign 100%, the video is embarrassing

Why must black people look down on their own in order to have a relationship out of their race? There is an ugly black american woman who says her white husband was better than her nigerian husband. I believe people should be free to find love and happiness anywhere, but I think these women are beyond pathetic and a disgrace to black people. You can love anyone without hating or demeaning your own. Many Black people have serious issues and suffer from inferiority complex.

I don't even know what African man had such bad taste to be attracted to this ugly mofo.

LOL, I agree with your assessment & all I can say is it is just a pity after watching that video
