MULTINATIONAL BRANDS JOSTLE TO SPONSOR KANU NWAKWO’S BIO MOVIE
We can authoritatively tell you that Kanu Nwakwo, Africa's most decorated football player is set to release his biography in form of docu-movie format which will be circulated across the world.
As scenes in the movie will be shot in cities across five different countries including Nigeria, Netherland, USA, England and Italy, multinational brands are at loggerhead to sponsor the movie. It was gathered that many brands has indicated their interest months back on the movie without response from Kanu’s agent but it took a new dimension when Kanu’s agent penultimate week release the list of its production crew that include Oscar nominee, Davide Cinzi who was signed as the Director of Photography alongside Peter Jackson who director Lords Of the rings Film, Caroline Deeds to direct and edit, Laurie Mcdowell also as editor.
Those who should know revealed that multinational brands across the world now run after the production crew of the movie to be their private sponsors. Multinational brands in Nigeria are not left out as they now engaged in running other down during the pitching meeting in the presence of the foreigners who are in the production crew because of the massive mileage the film will offer. Some agency were said to have sent mails to the foreign production crews not to drink a particular kind of bottle water but should patronise their own because it’s the best. Some have concluded plans to shoot television commercials to run other brands down all in the sake to be part of Kanu Nwakwo’s movie.
The film is about his accomplishment, his travails and his toils among others and will be ready before the end of first quarter of 2011.
