A film producer by name, Michael Ofuonye, has faulted the Actors Guild of Nigeria for suspending the ill-fated movie, “Another Side of Life” as well as its producer, Adanma Luke, following a boat mishap that claimed the life of Nollywood actor, Junior Pope and other victims.
Ofuonye was the producer of a similar film which one of Nollywood finest actors back then, J.T. Tom West was shooting before he was involved in a ghastly accident while returning from the movie location in September 2006 which claimed his life.
Reliving the memories of that sad incident, he bemoaned how millions of naira he invested in the project went down the drain following a wrong decision to strike off the set.
Ofuonye disagrees with the decision made by the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to suspend Adanma’s movie and frowned at the decision of the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to suspend Adanma’s movie, insisting that completing the movie as a tribute to Jnr. Pope’s memory could indeed be a meaningful way to honor the late actor’s legacy and provide closure for his family, the cast, and crew of the production.
