Kunle Afolayan held a press screening of his new movie, The CEO, at Silverbird Cinema, Ikeja on Wednesday.
Journalists, fans, friends and sponsors who saw the 45 minutes clip shown were impressed by yet another blockbuster from the beloved filmmaker.
A pan-African project, the film pooled its cast from countries such as Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Benin Republic, Ivory Coast and Morocco among others.
Speaking after the press screening, Afolayan revealed details of the much anticipated premiere of The CEO aboard an Air France flight to Paris, where the film will headline the prestigious NollywoodWeek Paris, a film festival organised by the French-based association Okada Media, headed by Serge Noukoué and Nadira Shakur.
According to Afolayan, “Come June 1, 2016, we shall be having the first-of-its-kind premiere of The CEO aboard Air France to Paris, France.
“This special premiere will begin with a Red Carpet show at the Check-In Counter at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport.
“There shall be the best of media coverage from partners such as Africa Magic, Silverbird Television and other broadcast and print media who have shown us tremendous support from the past.”
Commercial Manager, Air France/KLM, Arthur Dieffenthaler, noted that there had never been an in-flight premiere of such, even in Hollywood or Bollywood.
The initiative, according to him, represents some of the big ideas that Air France/KLM and Afolayan’s Golden Effects Company stand for. He disclosed that this is the first time a Nigerian film will be shot at the Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris, France, expressing optimism that the partnership will go on for a long time.
