Preparations for the highly anticipated African epic So Long Odigbose have reached a new hit as full-scale pre-production gets underway, with the film’s producer leading the production crew on an extensive location scouting tour across Nigeria.
The ambitious production is set to be filmed across multiple strategic locations rather than a single destination, reflecting the scale and historical depth of the blockbuster.
Members of the production team have already visited carefully selected sites to assess their suitability for bringing the centuries-old story to life.
Lagos and Ondo states are among the first locations mapped out for filming, with detailed planning already in progress on how cast, crew, equipment, and logistics will be coordinated across the various production sites.
The production team is also exploring additional locations in other parts of the country, including Northern Nigeria, to capture the authenticity and grandeur required for the film.
Set more than 400 years ago, So Long Odigbose tells a gripping story inspired by one of Africa’s earliest accounts of slavery.
The historical epic combines powerful themes of war, love, betrayal, courage, and survival, promising audiences an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Beyond its compelling storyline, the film is expected to showcase Nigeria’s rich cultural and geographical diversity through its carefully selected filming locations, creating a visually stunning production that reflects the country’s heritage.
With global interest already building, So Long Odigbose is projected to attract billions of viewers worldwide.
Ambassadors and supporters from different countries have also expressed their commitment to promoting the film internationally, positioning it as one of Africa’s most anticipated blockbuster productions.
As pre-production intensifies, anticipation continues to grow for a movie that aims not only to entertain but also to tell a shocking twist chapter of African history on an unprecedented scale.
