Make sure your movie features at least one of the above mentioned stars if you want to have a better chance of recouping your investments.

Chei

Medeen - you dont quit,

You know how ppl like to hate on you whenever you mention Genevieve. Some comments others make about genny are so annoying - i have learnt to keep quite on the "Genny" topic. Be what may will always love her. She IS, WAS and ALWAYS be our No 1 Genny, and yes i do agree with you. Genny and RMD - is like dynamite. Sure Winner.

-enough with all these sons and daughters from abroad
- please no love at first sight, i want to see development of romance stories, not the likes of when i first saw u, u completed my world as well as all those primary school lovi lovi style. two pple must not fall in love at once when they see each other
- what is the spelling of ramsey;s name? is it nouah, noah, nuwah!! i dont know abt him, but i HATE to have my name mispelt. this goes to all other spelling errors
- THIS ONE NA IN CAPITAL LETTERS- STOP IT WITH THE RICE AND CHICKEN IN THE RESTAURANT!
- when will a movie ever come out abt university life focusing on academics and not on the girl follow man a la Girls Cot and all the like
- let everybody approaching the swimming pool know how to swim. no throwing of water at each other!

If you dont have better scripts - abeg go read a whole colllection of Pacecetters Books from back in the day and steal some story lines from there

During restaurant scenes show more people...i mean get more waka passes and make sure they dont look at the camera!!

Also in when writing scripts don enforce the name "dollars...."

finally....why must there be a group of girls gossiping about what just happened in the scene? we just saw it!

Very interesting thread. I just hope that these Nollywood producers are taking the little time they can afford to read all this advices and are ready to make the changes very soon.

May I start by commending the producers for some improvements I have seen recently. I think BB and others have pin-pointed a lot already. Since Vince has given permission for emphasis, mine is as follows:
Please:
-Don't stereotype Actors (A pastor in one movie can be a lawyer in another).
-Match Actors appropriately( I know that this can be subject to availability).
-Eliminate fake accents, It's irritating (Good command of the English Language is what matters).
-Hire professional costumiers and make-up artists.
-Use good sound track(background music/noise should be kept to a minimum).
-Utilize top-notch subtitling editors (example-Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa movies).
-Feature more scenic places. Nigeria is blessed with beautiful mountains, hills, plateaux, valleys etc.

Thank you for your time

Will like to see these changes, s'il vous plait,

* Curtail the shopping scenes
* Don't tell us the whole story of the film via the theme music,
* Don't use mediocre artistes for supporting/secondary characters
* Explore other storylines that are more realistic to the Nigeria of today
* If you must shoot a historical film, use the indigenous language and then sub-title it; if you cannot, then make sure the language is 'dated' and represents the era in which the film was shot.
* Stop stereotyping artistes; for instance, try using KOK in comedy for a change, a female president etc.
* For doctor roles, please, please and please, cast well!!! And stop giving information to the patients' family in the hospital reception!!! It is not done!!!!
* There are loads of competent scriptwriters in Nigeria, give them a chance!

more to come............

Directors and producers- just stop shooting movies,you will never be appreciated on NR no matter what you do so close the door on Nollywood - the world will be content with Hollywood and Mexican soap operas.
