“Foreigner’s God” appears to be the most ambitious project to come out of Nollywood in 2019. A movie by multiple award-winning producer/director Ifan Ifeanyi Michael is projected to excite movie fans in 2019.
So what is Foreigner’s God all about? Well, to put it simply, Foreigner’s God Set in 1947 Enugu, follows the story of English documentary photographer Pepper Claude (Kyle Colton) and his odyssey into the Igboland in search of a story. His bodyguard soon disappears mysteriously, and falls in love with Anya, an accused witch living under subhuman conditions in the heart of the jungle.
Ini Dima-Okojie plays Anya, and it will be interesting how she interprets old-era witchcraft. It also appears that there was a solar eclipse in Nigeria in 1947.
In 2018, Nigerian movies made a big splash on the big screen. The films were entertaining and engaging, and they drew in large audiences both at home and abroad. This was a welcome change from the usual fare, and it generated a lot of excitement among moviegoers.
The films were witty and well-made, and they kept audiences entertained from start to finish. There was something for everyone, and people were eager to see more of these movies.
Nigerian filmmakers showed their talent and creativity in 2018, and the results were excellent movies that delighted audiences everywhere.
Nigerian filmmakers proved that they are some of the best in the world, with their movies receiving critical acclaim from movie critics both at home and abroad. It was truly a banner year for Nigerian cinema, and we can only hope that it will get even better!
The anticipation of Foreigner’s God was not far-fetched. It was hinged on the success of the maiden work of the producer Ifan Ifeanyi Michael in 2016 titled ‘Lotanna’.
As the long wait for the release of Foreigner’s God continues, movie watchers were in for a big disappointment as the much-anticipated film failed to make it to the big screen.
Some industry insiders attributed the delay to production issues, while others blamed it on the fact that some great movies such as The Wedding Party and King of Boys have set the bar high for subsequent Nollywood movies. However, no one knows for certain what caused the holdup.
Regardless of speculations, people just can’t wait for the release of the movie – albeit in a limited run. And they were not disappointed. The movie was met with rave reviews, with many hailing it as a masterpiece.
However, according to Press Reader the producer Ifan, revealed that he has so much at hand with the movie “I have a lot going on with ‘Foreigner’s God’ coming out this year,” adding that he never planned to release it as earlier speculated. “I never planned to release ‘Foreigner’s God’ last year because I want it to be the main dominant film in 2019”.
