Genevieve’s appearance at TIFF was not just a casual visit. She was there for the premiere of her latest film, “I Do Not Come to You by Chance.” This film has been selected as part of the festival’s centrepiece program, a segment that showcases handpicked films from around the globe. The movie is adapted from Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani’s award-winning debut novel of the same name. It delves deep into the world of Nigerian email scams, presenting a narrative that is far from just a crime story. It unravels the moral dilemmas faced by a young man trying to lift his family out of poverty.
This is not Genevieve’s first venture into film production. Her 2018 film, “Lionheart,” was not only a hit among audiences but also caught the attention of Netflix, setting a precedent for future Nollywood productions on the streaming platform. The new film promises to be a thought-provoking piece, staying true to the essence of the original novel, which has received several accolades, including the 2010 Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Book (Africa) and the Betty Trask First Book Award.
The film’s production saw Genevieve collaborating with her lifelong friend, Chinny Carter, as co-executive producers. Their deep-rooted friendship added a layer of trust and magic to the production process. The cast is a blend of seasoned Nollywood actors and promising newcomers, ensuring that the film will be a visual and emotional treat for audiences.
In a separate sighting, Genevieve was spotted at an event in Canada, looking as radiant as ever. This appearance further confirmed her return to the public eye, dispelling rumors about her health that had been circulating during her absence.
The anticipation surrounding “I Do Not Come to You by Chance” is palpable. With Genevieve’s track record and the intriguing storyline, expectations are high. As the world awaits the film’s release, one thing is clear: Genevieve Nnaji’s return signifies a new chapter in her illustrious career, and she is set to leave an indelible mark on the global film industry once again.
