It’s been a long time coming, but Laju Iren’s Loving Amanda movie is almost here!
Since bestselling author Laju Iren began her film-making career in 2020, she has done quite well for herself in such a short time. Her web series During Ever After reached nearly half a million views on Youtube, and, now, her first feature-length film is on the way.
Loving Amanda is based on a best-selling novel of the same title. It follows the romantic story of a young woman’s journey from brokenness towards love, healing, and redemption. This heartfelt romantic screen adaptation is the newest addition to an extraordinary line-up of Nollywood movies slated to debut this Easter. With Loving Amanda, Laju Iren is going through a nuanced and intriguing route which she refers to as a ‘virtual cinema’ experience. Laju Iren Films will present a mind-blowing virtual experience for the feature-length movie, which features A-List actors like Blossom Chukwujekwu, Teniola Aladese, Chinonso Arubayi, inspirational speaker – Adesunmbo Adeoye, and many others.
Laju Iren, the Executive Producer of Laju Iren films, gives a little insight on what to expect from the upcoming virtual cinema experience: “It’s almost like going to cinemas. The quality is the same. Only that this time you can do it from the comfort of your home and watch the film over and over again throughout the Easter weekend. This is such a win-win for us, our audience in Nigeria, and in the diaspora, as everyone, everywhere can see the film at the same time. They don’t have to pay a monthly subscription or wait until it is released in a cinema in their own country. As independent filmmakers, it also gives us the financial freedom to creatively and professionally continue to make the inspiring stories that our audience has come to love us for,” she said.
Laju Iren believes in the sheer brilliance of the film as it is based on the novel of the same title that readers all over the world fell in love with, a story that has made it to the OkadaBooks bestseller list multiple times since it was first published in 2018. Now viewers can watch the story come alive and meet the characters they’ve grown to love, as well as some surprising new characters, in the flesh.
The virtual premiere is set for this Easter 2022 weekend and can be streamed by viewers who purchase available tickets from March 1st on the movie website from anywhere in the world. The movie will be released through a ticketed online system where users from all over the world can pay and watch the film during the Easter holidays, specifically from Good Friday, April 15th, to Easter Monday, April 18th.
