“When we first made the movie Domitilla, it was a story inspired by societal challenges that, over time, have proven to be not only akin to the ’90s but Trans-generational.

According to the synopsis of the reboot, the story revolves around four main female characters—Ekwutosi, Fisayo, Promise, and Madam Vee—and the choices they make and the domino effects of their choices.

Veteran Nollywood director and actor, Kayode Kasum, Creative Director of Film Trybe and the director of ‘Domitilla: The Reboot’ spoke to the mediacon his elation about the upcoming movie.

“I am Thankful, for without the First, we wouldn’t have the Reboot, glad we get to savour both.”

Mimi Bartels of FilmOne Entertainment describes the movie as “A truly passionate project delivered to the Nigerian audience by great minds.”

“We didn’t want to glorify the world, but rather show what women go through and the situations they find themselves in that are out of their control—to that end, we spent almost two years looking for women to embody this.

“We are pleased with our diverse cast, and the world will see them as never before. Our goal is to push and create entertainment that will last forever.”
