Obi Emelonye returns in Last Flight to Abuja

                                                                                      Omotola and Ali Nuhu
The award winning director and producer of one of the highest grossing movies of 2011, Mirror Boy, Obi Emelonye is back in the news with new Nollywood flick, Last Flight to Abuja. 

Fans’ favourite, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Jim Iyke, Hollywood and Nigerian actor, Hakeem Kae Kazeem, Jide Kosoko, Ali Nuhu, Celine Loader and a host of others took part in the movie that is already making impact in London cinemas.

The movie will premiere on Friday, August 3 in Lagos and will be in cinemas across Nigeria on same date.
Synopsis: A set of everyday Nigerian travellers’ board the last Flamingo Airways flight scheduled to fly from Lagos to Abuja on a fateful Friday night in 2006. The plane cruises at 30,000 feet, tranquil and on schedule. But like a bolt out of the blue, the plane rapidly develops major faults that send it teetering on the brink of disaster. As the pilots fight with the controls of the stricken plane, a series of flashbacks unravel the twists, turns and leaps of fate that put each passenger on the fateful flight. Young lovers, an elderly couple, a corporate party, a sportsman on the threshold of greatness; all the passengers are caught up in the nightmare scenario and sense the final moments of their lives approaching.

  32. i think it is quite upsetting especially after the dana crash and i know it was done before the crash but at least let us respect those who died and probably they showed have suspended it just my take though...

    ReplyDelete
  33. come first o is that Aunty Celine Loader as pilot. This woman na agbaya haba she is JUST EVERYWHERE

    ReplyDelete
  34. i know the movie was produced and written and acted 5 million years ago...even if.. It is just not fair to bring out the movie now... Its not fair to the bereaved. The movie will traumatize them the more. The movie will get bad publicity because of the dana crash...if it came out before the crash it wudv been better. Just seeing the preview is scary..talkless of the movie...

    Its just a coincidence with the recent dana crash,ow will someone produce a movie on plane crash within a month.

  81. i feel Nollywood has now come of age in terms of the kind of deep stories they now tell, last flight to Abuja for instance and few others

    ReplyDelete
  82. Does this look like one of those Asaba movies that takes two days to produce? I ve seen the trailer of this movie and I think it will b a great movie, I also heard the movie was produced b4 Dana plane crash.

    ReplyDelete
  83. For those of you saying they should suspend the premiere, personally I also mourn those who died but y re U crying more than the bereaved, a brother of one of the victims did his wedding after the crash, d issue is the movie addresses reasons for plane crashes in Nigeria, so we should praise d producer for that

    ReplyDelete
