In an Instagram post on Mo Abudu’s verified handle on Friday, the media mogul reiterated that her firm is positioned to ensure the depth and authenticity of this film.
Ebonylife Studios boss Mo Abudu has
revealed the inspiration behind co-producing anticipated blockbuster movie centred
around Ray Hushpuppi’s life.
She states that it is why EbonyLife
needed to partner with a major Hollywood producer like Will Packer Productions
to act out the movie on the Billionaire Gucci master.
In her post, Mo Abudu notes that
EbonyLife understands the environment of poverty and deprivation that breeds
highly talented and fundamentally flawed characters like Hushpuppi.
Mo Abudu says Will Power Parker, however, knows how to create stories with global appeal.
Reports emerged on Thursday that Mo Abudu, Ebony Life Studios CEO would team up with Will Packer Productions to develop an untitled project.
The movie is based on Evan Ratliff’s
Bloomberg article, “The Fall of the Billionaire Gucci Master.”
The companies won the rights in a highly competitive bid and have set up the project at Universal Pictures.
Ratliff’s article digs into the story of
Nigerian Instagram influencer Ramon Abbas.
The man otherwise known as Ray
Hushpuppi, or the Billionaire Gucci Master, is alleged to have perfected a
simple internet scam that allowed him to launder millions of dollars.
Packer and Abudu’s project are described as a globetrotting action thriller — a hybrid of Catch Me If You Can and The Usual Suspects.
