The movie producer teased the first poster
of the new movie in an Instagram post alongside an emotional message to
appreciate her cast and crew.
She also confirmed the movie will be
officially available on popular streaming platform, Netflix.
The 41-year-old movie producer on her
Instagram page on Wednesday said the sequel will soon be released with the
caption, ‘Laburu is Coming’.
In a lengthy post accompanied by pictures of billboards across cities teasing the movie, Adetiba noted that the movie production seemed like a dream that would never happen at first.
The movie producer also narrated how she
almost died from the rigour and stress of the job, adding that she got sick for
almost seven months after a period on the set of the film.
She appreciated the cast and crew while
praising Netflix, the US streaming platform, for its professional support and
push towards the attainment of excellence.
“If I’ve ever shown bravado on this app,
please ignore. I cried ugly, happy tears this morning. I’m talking snorting
dripping, happy tears. I then got on a twenty minute video call with Sola
Sobowale, and we both cried together,” she wrote.
“This is what dreams are made off. A lot of
work has gone into this. After almost dying last year, and moving straight from
the hospital (after being sick for almost 7 months) to the KOB 2 set only six
weeks later.
“This moment feels like a dream that almost
didn’t happen. That the devil tried to steal. Filmmaking is one of the hardest
occupations. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Even the guy wrangling cables
on set sees PEPPER. But moments like this make it all worth it.
“I’m grateful to the entire KOB 2
production family. I love you guys more than you know. This is us. Thank you to
the amazingly talented actors that gave us their talent to keep safe for them
housed in a film. I pray we did you justice, and never let you down.
“And finally… Thank You, Netflix for not
only pushing us for greatness, but also teaching us so many things needed to
elevate to the next level.”
In another post, Kemi Adetiba confirmed
that the film will be released on Netflix.
King of Boys is a 2018 Nigerian political
thriller film. It is the second movie directed by Kemi Adetiba following the
release of The Wedding Party.
It reunites Adetiba with Adesua Etomi and
Sola Sobowale, after they worked together in her directorial debut, The Wedding
Party.
King of Boys tells the story of Alhaja
Eniola Salami, a businesswoman and philanthropist with and a promising
political future. She is drawn into a struggle for power which in turn
threatens everything around her as a result of her growing political ambitions.
To come out of this on top, she is caught up in a game of trust, not knowing
whom really to look up to, and this leads to her ruthlessness.
