Lockdown was scheduled to premiere at the NollywoodWeek Paris Film Festival, however, Moses Inwang explained that won’t happen anymore.
The director explained that this was due to a delay in post-production.
“It saddens me to announce that my latest film, Lockdown, will no longer open or premiere at the NollywoodWeek Paris Film Festival due to a delay in post-production. It’s a disappointing situation for me given how highly I regard the festival and how much people in the diaspora would have loved this film because of it’s timely theme, one that is affecting everyone worldwide. I’ve had a couple of films in selection in previous editions but it would have been a great honour to open the festival this time.”
He wrote on Instagram,
The director, renowned for blockbusters such as Merry Men 2, Crazy People, and Alter Ego, speaking about the film earlier in the year said,
“When I conceived this story in 2016, I knew it would be one of my biggest work so far. Early last year, we couldn’t film Lockdown because an actual lockdown came upon us but we didn’t back down from the project, and gladly, the investors CEM Media, iFactory, and FilmOne, kept believing in the film.”
Lockdown will begin showing in cinemas nationwide from May 28, 2021.
