Mo Abudu, Executive Producer for EbonyLife Films, is delighted to be in Dubai for the shoot. “Ever since Dubai Tourism partnered with us on the Grand Premiere of The Wedding Party, it’s been my dream to bring the sequel here. We weren’t sure if it was going to be possible, but the amazing success of the movie made it more likely and Dubai Tourism came through for us, along with Tour Brokers International and Wontra Travel. With a great script by Naz Onuzo, an experienced director, Niyi Akinmolayan, the original cast and the beautiful sights and sounds of Dubai, we think we may have a bigger blockbuster on our hands.”

In an all-out attempt to broaden the appeal of this much-anticipated sequel, the producers, The ELFIKE Collective, have added a number of popular Nollywood stars and personalities, including Patience Ozokwo aka Mama G, Chigul, Seyi Law and Elenu, and international cast members. With scenes shot in Lagos, London and Dubai, the film promises to be a visual feast.

The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai will wrap in late May and go into post-production in time for film festival season.

TheWedding Party 2: Destination Dubai will have its Lagos premiere on December 10, with cinema release in time for the Christmas holidays. For more information, visit www.ebonylifefilms.com
