Some things can be done mistakenly and it will be pardoned over what one can describe as an oversight, but when that mistake comes from a movie production house to a media house: it becomes a hellish one from a bottomless pit.
It was with much pleasure when Flex newspaper received its invitation letter to see a press movie premiere of the latest movie from the stables of Venus films.
Some factors that contributed to our zeal to attend the premiere was because, earlier information from the producers had prompted us that “troubled” Mzbel also starred in the movie. Her involvement in the movie was heightened at a time she involved herself with the police over an allegation of an assault.
True to the word of mouth around town, Mzbel played a splendid role in the movie over what she had already shot with production houses like Movie Africa and some producers. Like her stage self, Mzbel once again did a bad girl role and she did it like never before. Journalists present applauded the movie producers, the cast and the production crew for such a wonderful job which was mixed with humour and romance.
The deadly mistake happened when the organizers presented a press kit which comprised pictures of the cast both on location and off location for our per- usal. It was until this weekend that information started making rounds that some of the pictures given to the media, were not supposed to go out in their real sense.
Flex newspaper was hinted by a colleague writer from the Graphic Showbiz so we were pushed to do our own checks on the Cd which had the pictures. To our utmost surprise, the CD had more pictures than necessary which is beyond the usual pictures we have been receiving from on such occasions.
The lady (actress) who seem to be in the hot soup here is Ebbie Bright: a budding actress who is gradually rising to stardom in her area of profession. Ebbie Bright also doubles as a Tv presenter on Tv3 who presents the Late Night Show on Wednesdays.
Flex newspaper` investigations so far have proven that those pictures were not to be part of the press kit given to the media people available but was mistakenly found on it. Ebbie Bright could not be contacted to comment on the pictures as of the time of going to press. Read on next week for more!!
