There is a twist on
Genevieve Nnaji being cast in Chimamanda Adiche’s Half of A Yellow Sun which is
yet-to-be-released.
A film directed by Niyi Bandele . According to E24-7magazine
reports that her scenes have been cut off.
Genevieve’s scenes weren’t expressly important to the story, a
reliable source that has seen the movie told E24-7MAGAZINE. “I figured that
because of Ms Nnaji’s way of acting, her character dragged the storyline, so it
was cut out during editing. Obviously, if she was good enough like Onyeka
Onwenu, she would have been given a major role in the film.
“Her minor role was compensation to Nollywood. So, the film producers might be apologetic for cutting out her parts, as she should not try to go to the cinemas to see the film with her family members, else she will give herself heartache.”
It was a very intense exercise for the post-production team; in fact, they ended up cutting out some characters from the book to beat time in order to stay focus and professional. Test audiences, we gathered did not like those scenes.
According to the source, the director realized some footage may not be needed and unfortunately many of those scenes involved the Tango with Me star actress, such that if she appears on screen at all, it will be in a significantly reduced capacity from what her role was in the script.
Yes, you may get to see her in a party scene. This development, no doubt will be shocking to her fans and observers of the industry because of her status and influence but it is a usual occurrence in other climes to cut actors out of finished films
