He said:
“’Living In Bondage’ is the single most compelling, most consequential movie franchise in the history of the Nigerian film industry. It is the movie which, in 1992, birthed the Nigerian movie industry that is today universally known as Nollywood; an industry that is now the world’s second-largest, most prolific film industry.
“I came with the idea to Ramsey some years ago because the film means a lot to so many people and seeing the reactions of the guests at the premiere shows the impact that this movie continues to have over 2 decades later – we have told a great story, with plenty to learn from with this sequel and it’s a must-watch.”
We can’t wait to see Charles Okpaleke and his team create magic with the sequel of “Glamour Girls”.
