HekCentrik Productions has formally announced their next feature, a Hollywood feature titled �Turning Point�. The project has been generating a lot of buzz in recent months amongst people in the know within the industry that a Hollywood film starring Nollywood stars in leading roles is in pre-production. It features Nollywood stars Jackie Appiah, Igoni Archibong, Patience Ozokwor, Enyinna Nwigwe, Ebbe Bassey and Chelsea Eze, alongside Hollywood actors Lauren London (�ATL�, �I Love You, Beth Cooper�, �Good Hair�), Ernie Hudson (�Ghostbusters�, �Law and Order�, �Desperate Housewives�), Todd Bridges (�Diff�rent Strokes�, �Everybody Hates Chris�), Cynda Williams (�Mo� Better Blues�, �Introducing Dorothy Dandridge�) and Joe Estevez (�Apocalypse Now�, �Spanish Fly�). The movie is written, directed and executive produced by Niyi Towolawi and co-produced by Egor Efiok . Niyi Towolawi, CEO of HekCentrik Productions comments, �we start principal photography in less than a month and the excitement couldn�t be greater.� Set in New York, the plot explores ethnic prejudice amongst the various black communities in America (a la �Crash�) and centres around a Nigerian investment banker that bows to family pressure to abandon his American sweetheart for an arranged wife from back home. His life is turned upside-down when the marriage turns out not too rosy, setting off a chain of events that forces him to confront his reckless past.
