Ghanaians will today have the opportunity to attend the debut showing of the much awaited movie – DOUBLE CROSS – in Ghana—the movie was premiered in UK some few months back.
The movie, which has already received two exceptional awards, will be premiered tonight (February 6, 2015) at the Silverbird Cinemas (Accra Mall & West Hills Mall; 6:30pm for the 1st showing and 9:30 pm for the 2nd showing).
Majority of the audience who were present at the premiere of ‘Double Cross’ in UK described the movie as one of its kind when it comes to the plot, acting skills exhibited by the various cast, as well as the twist and turns employed. Judging from the previous premiere, this is a movie that nobody can afford to miss.
In view of this, GhanaCelebrities.Com caught up with the co-producer, Ama K. Abebrese, and sought from her what the kind of preparation went into filming this amazing movie.
According to her, they were determined not to produce the same old predictable movies Ghanaians have been seeing all the time. With that at the back of their heads, they had to think outside the box and come out with something unique that would be appreciated by Ghanaians and Africans as a whole. As she puts it, “it wasn’t easy coming up with such a plot.”
After successfully premiering her self-produced movie – ‘When Love Comes Around’ which won two awards at the just ended Ghana Movie Awards, actress Zynnel Zuh is back with an initiative dubbed ‘Celebrity Popcorn Sale.’
On the 10th and 11th of January, 2015 (that is today and tomorrow), Zynnell will be joined by a tall list of Ghanaian celebrities like Adjetey Anang, Tiny, Lydia Forson, Micky Osei Berko, Edward Kuffour, Roselyn Ngissah, etc. to vend popcorn at the Silverbird Cinemas (Accra Mall and West Hills Mall) while taking pictures and interacting with their fans. Her movie, ‘When Love Comes Around’ will simultaneously be screened at the cinema halls for all those who missed out on the day of premiere.
GhanaCelebrities.Com caught up with Zynnell this morning for a brief chat. In the interview, she talked about the current state of the Ghanaian movie industry as well as what inspired her to self-produce her own movies.
When asked about the most ridiculous thing she has ever heard or read about herself, Zynnell had an interesting answer to share – something that you probably would not think of.
Take a seat, relax, and watch the interview below…
Kwabena Kwabena has released a new video for his song-Kyere Wo Do featuring Joojo—and Ama K. Abebrese, Adjetey Anang & others make a cameo appearance, helping tell the song’s story…
The song is a good one; and the fact that Adjetey Anang together with Ama K. Abebrese are in there helping tell the background story makes the video a must watch.
Watching the movie Double Cross at the Greenwich Odeon Cinema in London on Friday, my first thought was, they seem to have given away all the goodies in the trailer so what else could possibly interest me….or so I thought.
I’m going to start with the pleasantries because of course pointing out the trash or the critical points is a simple task where reviews are concerned.
Following the screening of the movie when the audience learnt that Double Cross was D.R. Kuffour’s first movie we erupted into applause.
In true African style, the film-makers did drag out a lot of the scenes that could have easily have been shortened. The movie had all the factors that keep an African crowd satisfied and engaged including a very pleasing sound track, I couldn’t quite keep still in my seat at some points.
There were a few gasps, laughs and shouts from the crowd during the screening…I won’t do you the disservice of giving away any plots or twits but certainly, you most definitely will not have a clue what unfolds in this romantic action comedy. Emphasis on the romance…I was entirely convinced by some of the intense attraction that developed between some of the characters. A member in the audience even asked during the Q&A if this was INDEED acting. It was that convincing.
Ghanaian actress-Ama K. Abebrese, John Dumelo and Adjetey Anang are currently in London for tonight’s the red carpet premiere of DOUBLE CROSS at the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich (8pm) and you should not MISS it.
African movie lovers who will attend the premiere tonight will get to see something totally different and yet interesting as the movie breaks away from the usual African movie story-lines mostly dominated by witchcraft and unrealistic romance.
In Double Cross “Effie Howard (Ama K. Abebrese) a streetwise programmer’s life is dramatically turned upside down when her fiancé Ben Boateng (Adjetey Anang) is convicted and sentenced for a bank robbery he did not commit. Determined to prove his innocence; she carried out her own investigation and finds the actual robber; Danny Frimpong (John Dumelo) a calm and collected sophisticated genius of a thief who has a personal vendetta against the bank he robbed Neptune Bank International. He robbed the bank using urbane technology which enabled him to enter, steal and exit the bank leaving everyone mystified as to how the theft was carried out, no witnesses, no evidence, yet the money is gone.
She meets Danny and threatens him but later offers him a deal; and it’s to rob the bank again with similar methods as the first so the authorities know the actual robber is still out there, then Danny will not lose what matters to him most and the reason for the bank robbery. She plans to relocate with the stolen money and start a new life with Ben when he is acquitted so as to get away from the stigma attached to ex-convicts and their families. They are successful in the robbing the bank, Effie now sets her sights on a jewellery warehouse and she wants Danny to rob it.
With a lot of jewellery and money at stake, each one of them tries to outwit each other with medleys of smart thinking as they plan and execute the robberies. They meticulously plan the robberies, but no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare them for the dangerous enemy, an enemy Effie least expected and never saw coming; an unexpected turn of events on the day of the robbery, what happened”
Nollywood star- Omoni Oboli flew into Ghana for the premiere of her directorial debut film – Being Mrs. Elliot which took place at the SilverBird Cinemas in Accra on Friday—and in attendance to support her were, Juliet Ibrahim, Adjetey Anang, Lydia Forson, Zynnell Chichi, Helen Asante and others.
The film which has already been premiered in Nigeria, France and other countries features Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, Nigerian comedians AY, Lepacious Bose, Bishop Seun Akindele, Uru Eke, Sylvya Oluchy, Chika Chukwu among others.
Before the premiere Omoni Oboli had this to say about the movie; “It has some good messages in there and everyone should try and watch it for themselves. It is a beautiful film. We premiered in Nigeria and other countries and we had good reviews”.
Surely, a movie featuring African Movie Academy Awards’ Best Actress-Ama K. Abebrese, talented actors-John Dumelo and Adjetey Anang wouldn’t need multiple endorsements before you realize it is going to stand tall amongst the best African movies ever seen…
On Friday-31st October, 2014 in London at the Greenwich Odeon Cinema (8pm), African movie lovers will have the opportunity to see the above named actors and several other talented actors take up the challenge in Double Cross—as they tell the story of a streetwise programmer whose life turns upside down at a red carpet premiere to be attended by the stars.
For the start, we get to see something totally different and yet interesting as we break away from the usual African movie stories mostly dominated by witchcraft and unrealistic romance—therefore you cannot miss this premiere.
Double Cross does not only push the storyline frontier higher, it also brings together some of the best actors we have in Africa to play central roles in telling the story—making it a movie worth a watch.

So if you are in Nigeria and you love great African movies, this is an opportunity to experience one….
From outstanding acting to its high quality productions—and the many twists and turns, ‘Devil in the Detail’ is a must watch movie. At least after watching it, if you are ever challenged to name one great African movie that gets it all right, you can shout-Devil in the Detail.
Also, to understand why some of us say Nse Ikpe Etim is the most underrated ‘African’ actress caged in a ‘gross talent suppression’ and lack of befitting merit, you must watch ‘Devil in the Detail’ to see her ‘adorable and so real’ performance…
This is one of the photos we do not say much about, rather, we allow the photo to speak for it self…LOL How can Adjetey Anang be taking a selfie in the bathroom just like the women do? Can’t believe what I seeing…And his pose is just over the top. What do you think? Sort … Read more
