Idris Elba And Mo Abudu On Bringing African Talent Into Entertainment Mainstream: “It’s Important For Us To Amplify The Voices In The Continent” deadline.com/2023/05/idris-…
"It’s important for us to amplify the voices in the continent. If we can build a footprint that is pan-African, then it allows for more diversity in terms of what’s on offer to Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount and all of those guys," Elba told Deadline bit.ly/43hshWO Image
"Different visions can come together and make things work. I’m obsessed with getting a global blockbuster to come out of Africa, something that will put us on the map," Abudu told Deadline bit.ly/43hshWO Image
Idris Elba: Africa is a continent that has seen a lot of adversity, so we’re not going to write Disney movies. But it’s starting to diversify, and I think it’s important that it does because you don’t just want to make movies about conflict and hard times bit.ly/43hshWO twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
