One of the biggest highlights at the FilmOne Film Showcase Exhibition 2025 was the unveiling of the teaser for “This Is Not A Nollywood Movie,” an upcoming action-comedy film produced by Boma Akpore and directed by Wale Ojo.
Described as a “mad and zany” cinematic experience, the film promises a refreshing blend of veteran Nollywood legends and Gen Z stars, merging the old and new generations of the Nigerian film industry in one entertaining production.
Speaking at the event, Wale Ojo, the film’s director and one of its lead actors, expressed excitement about the project, describing it as a unique experiment that bridges eras of Nigerian cinema.
“The only way I can describe this mad and zany action comedy is that we have gone to great lengths to put together the OGs of Nollywood — Hank Anuku, Julius Agwu, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Chidi Mokeme, and Bimbo Akintola — with the Gen Zs of the new Nollywood to create an enriching and madly funny film,” Ojo said.
He also revealed that behind-the-scenes clips, photos, and exclusive videos will be released in the coming weeks to build anticipation ahead of its nationwide cinema debut.
“This Is Not A Nollywood Movie” features an impressive cast lineup that includes Boma Akpore, Broda Shaggi, Olumide Oworu, Hank Anuku, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Bimbo Akintola, Julius Agwu, Chidi Mokeme, Michael Sunny B, Shatta Bandle, and Ify Onyeka.
The much-anticipated film is slated for nationwide theatrical release on December 5, 2025, and is expected to deliver a bold mix of humor, nostalgia, and social commentary — a testament to the evolving creativity of Nollywood’s new era.
“It’s an understatement to say you don’t want to miss it,” Ojo added enthusiastically.
