On Tuesday March 6 a new Ghanaian movie ‘Wanna Be’ would be premiered at the national premiere entertainment centre; National Theatre at 6:30pm.
Since it is the celebrations of the Ghana’s Independence, the day would be declared as a statutory holiday, so the premiere is expected to attract number of movie enthusiast as well as several celebrities to see the movie which has been tagged as an epic comedy.
Without giving out too much of the story, ‘Wanna Be’ is simply a story of a ‘wanna be’ girl who is from a very poor background that she has to result to bragging and lying in other to get the opportunity to wine and dine with her friends who are well to do.
Rightly so, it appears people are liked based on their status in society; who they are; what they can do or what they have done – the story dwells much on that.
It is a story about three friends Lieana, Kate and Caroline. Lieana [played by Nana Akua Addo] is from a poor background and also a habitual liar whiles the other two, Kate [played by Yvonne Nelson] and Caroline [played by Zynell Zuh] are well to do. In a way for them to accept her, she results to bragging and constant lies. It’s like almost everything she says is laced with lies here and there.
As she continues to lie, Prince David Osei who plays a plumber gets attracted to her thinking he can make money from from her. She on the other hand, has fallen for Eddie Nartey, a gate boy who drives his master’s posh cars around town.
The movie comes with comic scenes with more to laugh about. It features actors Yvonne Nelson, Prince David Osei as well as Nana Akua Addo, Eddie Nartey, Zynell Zuh among others and directed by award winning director Pascal Amanfo.
‘Wanne Be’ is on Shangai Film Production under the tutelage of Edmund Quarshie [Shangai] who doubles as an actor, a musician, director and a producer.
