The Darkness that is The Black Book – RMD

Date:

The Darkness that is The Black Book.

Truth be told, even though there tough days during the preparations for the shoot nothing worried me more than how dark the character has to go.

 

When I say dark I mean it in every literary sense. No smiles. No romance. No sweetness nothing.

As in to conspire with the overall darkness, nature used to align with us.

So we were shooting in Apapa on a Sunday after by the docks and the sun is out in all its glory. No jokes it was probably 36 to 38 degrees at that moment and I was about to step out into it shoot. I did.

Then we cut after the first take and I was sweating buckets and I joked about the sun being capable of driving anyone mad at that intensity. I don’t know what made me ask the make up artist for a mirror to look at my face but what I saw made me scream. My face was so dark I didn’t recognise me. But for the timely explanation of the makeup artist I would have thought something was terribly wrong.

She said it was my body protecting itself by producing more melanin to protect my skin.

 

Looking at the pictures now I see the effect it has on my character and I thank God for making nature itself align. No make up nothing. All melanin. Now I know what Melanin popping means.

 

Happy to share the official poster with you. The Black Book is Coming.

 

RMDtheActor is Coming!

 

To my director, son, and friend, @editieffiong , you did it. You made the plunge, did the impossible, and fought to make this film everything you had dreamed it would be. The world is about to witness your genius! They think they are ready – they don’t know what is about to hit them.

 

This is the film! This is my film. This is Nollywood’s Biggest Film yet! Brace yourselves, it’s going to be a wild ride into the depths.

 

Thanks folks for engaging with the trailer. I’m super gassed up.

Did somebody just ask if I would do this again? Heck yes. Story just dey start.

If I nor give una, how una go collect!
