Producer, Stanley Ontop, drags his fellow colleagues in Nollywood for still making use of live snakes while shooting their movies.
Stanley was at the forefront when Jnr Pope died, trying his best to prevent his death and is now fighting for a more conducive working environment for Nollywood actors.
He believes that many things in the film industry are done wrongly and is demanding for a change.
The producer shared a video of an actress, Sharon Ifedi on a movie scene, where she was forced to carry a live snake for a role.
He believes that this sort of acting should be left behind as there are other alternatives that can be used to successfully perform the scene.
Stanley called for the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to ban movies that have live snakes present.
His post reads;
“Don’t be afraid is your friend.Please how can a snake be someone’s friend bikonu 🤦♂️💔python or a Cobra, chineke meee be my friend? Taaaaaaa!!
I think is high time Nollywood stop using live snakes 🐍 to act movies. What happened to Dummy Snakes?
Calling on the president of Actors Guild Of Nigeria to ban all movies with live snakes 🐍 Let’s be wise in this our business and not been selfish. I have spoken to the mum of Sharon not to allow her daughter go through this torture just because we want to make it real.Even Hollywood which is the biggest industry in the world uses Chrome to Edith their rivers and animals. Nollywood let’s be wise and more creative 🤦♂️
Please all producers should be careful on things given to your actor or crew members on set because if anything happens on set na you wa be produced we go hold ooooo. Let’s learn and stop back biting each others
