Recently came across this article on a Ghanaian website entitled, “Ghanaian Stars In Upcoming Hollywood Movie“, and wrote to Chris-Vincent, my friend, who posted my email (with my permission) to his blog, Ghanacelebrities.com.
Well, the post drew a lot of comments and developed into a debate that honestly I did not expect but really appreciate the interest. I was also notified that there was a debate on the topic on the Ghanaian radio station, Peace FM, which I tuned into their online radio,(honestly I could follow the discussion because of course I don’t speak or understand Twi).
This has led me to go further into the issue and did some research so I could gain and to an extent provide for others, at least those who are interested, some answers. As it is often said, ‘if you want something you must go after it’. That is exactly what I did in this research in my quest to understand what a “Hollywood movie” is according to the “industry”.
