The wait is finally over as "ALTER EGO" premiers today
After a long absence from the scene,Award winning Actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde plays a woman with multiple personality disorder...
Talking to Hip TV earlier this year on the movie that is set
to bring her back to the screen, the actress said "Alter Ego" is
amazing."
"For a very long time, I couldn't find a script that
appealed to me," she continued.
"I got to a point in Nollywood and filmmaking where the
more I went out of the country and mixed with my colleagues internationally, I
began to understand how much people respected my brand and what they expected
of me, because when you’re back here you just get caught up in your normal
stuff. You don't really understand how big or should I say how much people
expect of you, and so you are in your feelings."
Every year you have someone asking me, “Omotola are you not
doing movies again? Why are you not in movies?” but I said to myself until my
find that project. It doesn't have to be a multi-million naira project, but
when I find that movie, that setup, that character that inspires me, I don't
mind even investing in it, but I will do it."
And luckily, after three years or more, "Alter
Ego" came along. I had to work with them on the script, but that was
something there. I saw a crew for the first time. In a long time I haven't seen
that in Nollywood, everybody is kind of like set in their ways. But I saw these
guys who are ready to just push boundaries, and I am ready with them."
Lets keep our fingers crossed as we await this movie today.
