Unfortunately, the film "Tears of the Sun" (2003), starring Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, was not filmed in Nigeria more than expected, because it put an action in Nigeria. It was filmed in Hawaii with non-indigenous Nigerians play roles in the film.
The countries of North Africa are known to host the filming of popular movies. Jesus of Nazareth, Lawrence of Arabia, Othello and The Gladiators were shot in Morocco. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars and The English Patient were filmed in Tunisia.
The movie "Phat Girlz" (2006) had a spicy, romantic, Nigerian nuance to it played with the presence of Dr. Jonathan Tunde from Nigeria, Jimmy Jean-Louis. The film was shot on location in Los Angeles, California, and at no time, no scenes filmed in Nigeria.

Take the hit movie "Slumdog Millionaire" by Danny Boyle, which was directed by Christian Colson produced and shot in India. It shows the Indian version of the game for "Millionaire?" (Ironically, we have sponsored the Nigerian version of the active telecom giant MTN). In the film, showing a poor young man from the slums of Mumbai, which is based on his experience to answer questions correctly hosts exceed the expectations of people suspected of playing mediator and representatives of the legal process is based on his outstanding performance, to reach lucrative package.
To say the least, the film was shot in India woven played to a plot of Indian and Indian actors. The film won an enviable number of Oscars, and opened more doors to Indian actors (adults and children), with its inclusive nature of the industry. I hope that our local industry does not sit back and adopt a casual attitude and the film facilities other products use a symbiotic relationship with the Trail Blazers film.
