British actor, Idris Elba has revealed his plans to relocate to Africa within the next decade. Motivated by a desire to contribute to the continent’s film industry, Elba expressed his intentions at a film industry event in Ghana. Interestingly, Elba has Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean heritage.

As part of his vision to bolster African filmmaking, Elba teased upcoming projects. This involves the establishment of film studios in Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Accra, Ghana.

Inkblot Productions is set to release another potential blockbuster, this time in collaboration with Meristem. Their latest project, “Family Gbese”, will hit cinemas nationwide on November 8th.

Michelle Bello directed the film and Chinaza Onuzo wrote it. Meanwhile, Film One Entertainment distributed it. The film promises to captivate audiences with its blend of family dynamics and drama. This follows the success of Inkblot’s previous hits.

Family Gbese follows Nnamdi (Uzor Arukwe), as he navigates the complex demands of loyalty, family, and ambition. The storyline takes an emotional turn when Nnamdi receives a life-changing request from his mentor.

This sparked intense decisions that delve into themes deeply connected to Nigerian culture and society. The film promises not only entertainment but also a reflective look at the pressures individuals face within the context of family and societal expectations.

The movie boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Teniola Aladese, Lillian Afegbai, and Mike Ezuruonye. Also, celebrated veterans like Ireti Doyle and Muyiwa Ademola were featured in the movie.

This star-studded lineup enhances the film’s potential, as each actor brings a unique depth to the storyline. Given the success of Inkblot’s previous family dramedy, Muri & Ko, which earned over N130 million at the Box Office in June, Family Gbese is anticipated to be another major hit.

With its premiere set for November 6th, excitement is already building around Family Gbese. The film is positioned to make a strong mark in the Nollywood industry as the year comes to a close.

As audiences eagerly await its nationwide release on November 8th, Family Gbese is poised to deliver a fun yet emotional cinematic journey that resonates with both local and international viewers.
