Nengi Set To Feature In The Re-Make Of Nollywood Blockbuster, Nneka The Pretty Serpent

Bayelsa born and the second runner-up of the Big Brother Naija Reality Show, Nengi Rebecca Hampson, popularly called Nengi has jetted out of the country to feature in the re-make of the nollywood movie, Nneka The Pretty Serpent.

This means that she is the first housemate of the show to travel to another country outside Nigeria after the reality show ended.

Infoexpert24 gathered that Nengi would feature prominently in the movie, which would showcase her beauty, poise and elegance with quality appearance.

Nneka The Pretty Serpent is being re-made with modern day facilities like the producers did with Living In Bondage.

About the original movie

As the name suggests, the movie told the story of Nneka, a mermaid disguised as a human whose mission on earth was to go after married men.

The movie was produced by Okechukwu Ogunjiofor and directed by Zeb Ejiro in 1992. It starred Ndidi Obi as the lead character and actors like Eucharia Anunobi, Ngozi Ezeonu, Rita Nzelu, Sam Loco, Kanayo O.Kanayo, James Iroha, Claude Eke and Nelly Uchendu.

Like the original “Living in Bondage,” “Nneka the Pretty Serpent” was a commercial success despite being shot in Igbo with English subtitles. It also helped launch the careers of many of the actors.

The film’s storyline was simple, straightforward and this was a plus because it earned it a large following. Nneka’s supernatural powers were all she needed to captivate any man she fancied and turned into her zombie. She also had to contend with a number of obstacles and in turn didn’t hesitate to destroy anything that stood between her and her desires.

Although it’s been almost 28 years since its release, Nneka the Pretty Serpent remains a reference point for Nollywood of old. It will be interesting to see how this remake will handle the entirety of the story/cast.

Obviously, Nengi is the next star to watch in the entertainment industry.
