The
trend in Nollywood is fast becoming eclectic; as it threads in the path of its
acclaimed counterpart, Hollywood. With the cinematic evolution that has been
experienced in the Nigerian movie industry, and a steady competition that has
proven healthy alongside Hollywood movies, Gold Picture Movies births a first
class thriller that adapts the renowned reality show, Big Brother Africa.
Plotted in harmony with the original Big Brother Africa, where
selected individuals from speculated African countries would be in an isolated
house while trying to avoid being evicted by viewers and ultimately winning a
large cash prize at the end of the show, “Eviction Day” parades a set of contestants
who were called into the competition rather than applying for it voluntarily.
In the real life Big Brother Africa, the contestant(s) who is not favoured by
the viewers gets evicted and leaves the “isolated house” to return peacefully
to his/her country. But have you ever imagined the next Big Brother show being
a house where the eviction day for the housemates turns out to be the day they
die?
How spell bound would you be knowing that the first two people to be evicted
died even before they got a chance to leave the house?
“Eviction Day”, as written and directed by Afe Olumowe, has a mystery figure,
“Zeus”, who wishes to fight for God on His behalf and decides to put an end to
a group of people that have committed atrocities in His name, hence the
founding of the mysterious cloned Big Brother House that mysteriously selects
unsuspecting candidates for doom.
Produced by Vitus Nnebue and directed by Afe Olumowe.
Starring Mercy Johnson Okojie, Nkem Owoh, Uche Odoputa, Sam Sunny, Zilly Tete,
Shirley Igwe, Derevko Obodoezi, the Nigerian cinema is about to be hit by the
most thrilling imagination that lurks around its favourite show in Africa.
