About a hundred aspiring actors drawn from all over Nigeria will converge in the city of Lagos this weekend, 24th – 26th September, 2011, for the final auditions of this year’s edition of the popular Next Movie Star TV reality show. It’s tagged ‘Galaxy of Stars’.
According to the organizers of the show, only 16 housemates will make it through the careful screening to be carried out by a panel of judges. These lucky ones will be camped in the Next Movie Star (NMS) house for 30 days where they will compete for the top prize in addition to joining the NMS Hall of Fame occupied by past winners like Kingsley Ogboso, Portia Yamahan, Enoch Hammond, Avenette Sirleaf, Oyindamola Odesola and Akio Precious Ilami.
Organizers also say that this year’s winner will walk away with a brand new SUV, cash prizes and movie contracts apart from instant celebrity status and patronage form Nollywood.
Unlike previous editions that reached out to other African countries, this year’s edition has narrowed its search to Nigeria alone. According to Sola Fajobi, executive producer of the show, after this edition, the next edition will be called ‘Next Movie Star West Africa’ and will include housemates from Nigeria, Gambia, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia while the East African edition will have contestants drawn from Kenya as host, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia.
For Southern African countries, NMS wannabes are expected to come from host country Malawi, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
‘Our Goal for 2011 and future editions is to expand and regionalise The Next Movie Star show and spread its reach all over Africa, selecting housemates from all the different regions of Africa and broadcasting to all these countries’, Fajobi explains.
‘Participants will be selected from each country with the traditional 16 housemates entering the NMS House in the host country. The show will be broadcast on all major television stations across the participating countries where partnership, sponsorship, recruitment and broadcast drives are already being made’, he continues.
The show which is produced by Digital Interactive Media has produced popular names like Nollywood acts Annie Macaulay and Tonto Dikeh, and the last three consecutive winners of the Big Brother Africa show, Kevin Chuwang Pam, Uti Nwachuckwu and most recently Karen Igho.
