PAUSE: D-Black and Van Vicker to premiere the real ‘VERA’ movie soon?

As reported earlier, a Kumasi-based film maker had jumped on the success of D-Black’s hit song, ‘Vera’ to produce a movie titled ‘Oh Vera’, which the rapper has termed as an infringement on his copyright. Using the concept of the song and music video as well as D-Black’s lyrics, a poster was released online all without the consent of D-Black’s label and management, Black Avenue Muzik or the artist himself. In a press statement, the Business Manager of Black Avenue Muzik, Albert Nartey hints: “ the ‘fake’ movie ‘OH VERA’ will not feature D-Black, Vera, Funny Face, Benny Blanco or any of the original cast. It is a fraud and legal action is being taken against the producers from Unique Pictures and 2Eyes Films, namely Samuel Ofori and Prince Badu Ntiamoah”. The statement also revealed that plans are in the works towards to release of a ‘VERA’ movie starring all the of the original cast, and produced by D-Black’s Black Avenue TV and Van Vicker’s movie production firm. The original ‘VERA’ movie will be premiered in March 2013 at the Silverbird cinemas in Accra, and will star D-Black, VERA herself, Benny Blanco, Van Vicker, Joey B, Funny Face and a star studded cast of Ghanaian and Nigerian musicians, actors and entertainers.]]>
