Global Cinemas, has partnered Nilani Media, a Ghanaian media production company to premiere a Ghanaian action thriller, Interception on December 11, 12 and 13 at 6pm and 8pm.
The movie will be screened throughout Christmas.
The revelation was made at a press briefing organised by the two companies at Global Cinemas at Weija where journalists interacted with cast members and had an exclusive preview of the movie.
Written by Nina Lalwani, directed by Pascal Aka, with executive production by Nina and Prakash Lalwani, and associate producers Pascal Aka and Habiba Nelson, Interception will be the first Ghanaian produced action thriller to be premiered at the Global Cinemas at Weija.
At the press briefing, Mr Kweku Cobbina, Business Manager for Global Cinemas, expressed the company’s excitement for its first major partnership to promote made-in-Ghana movies.
“Global Cinemas is a wholly Ghanaian owned cinema complex that aims to give world class entertainment to Ghanaians while promoting local talent and movie production.
We want to stir more interest in Ghanaian movies and this action packed thriller, with all the big names and its high production quality, is comparable to world standards,” he said.
Starring some of Ghana’s top cast including Adjetey Anang, Chris Attoh, John Dumelo, Ama K. Abebrese, Jasmine Baroudi, Benny Blanco and Pascal Aka, Interception is a law enforcement movie about a tactical team of highly trained ex-military men (Special Ops Team) who have been handpicked by the Vice President of Ghana for special assignments.
“This is, honestly speaking, the best movie I’ve done in my life,” said John Dumelo.
He continued, “I have been in action movies before but this is actually an action movie.”
“It’s so different from other Ghanaian films that you see out there,” said Ama K. Abebrese.
“I think that we just need to show a different side of Africa”, she added.
