Word out at the moment has it that our
dear Nigerian football legend Austin JJ Okocha is
currently producing a movie about reggae star
Majek Fashek.
The movie's screen play is reportedly written by
Charles Novia, and features Fracis Duru as
Majek Fasek, Sam Dede, Stella Damascus and
other top Nollywood actors.
According to Novia, the movie is shooting on
35mm and took about 3 years to fine-tune. It is
presently at its pre-production stage, after which
the crew will travel to New York in October to
shoot the America scene, which is the major part
of the film.
Fracis Duru, as it was gathered has been
undergoing guitar lessons, and extensive study of
Majek's character for the past eight month to fit
the role.
Here's what Francis said about Majek Fashek:
Whatever his travails and the public
perception of him, Majek still remain a
world class material, who has promoted so
much interest world wide with his type of
genre of music, So a movie of his life and
career has to meet a world class,"
