L-R: Captain Okunbo and Jeta when the going was good |
A serious cold war is currently
brewing between oil magnate and billionaire business man, Captain Hosa Wells
Okunbo and young filmmaker, Jeta Amata, over a multi-million dollar failed film
project.
SHOWBIZPLUSng exclusively gathered
that Okunbo is visibly pissed and hugely disappointed with Amata, who shuttles
between Hollywood and Nigeria, for failing to deliver on the big budget film,
Black Gold, (later renamed Black November), which the former had invested over
$8m of his personal wealth in.
An insider, who spoke with
SHOWBIZPLUSng on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that the Edo State-born
oil baron is very angry and disappointed with Jeta, for failing to complete
work on the film and deliver to him based on their agreement.
“Captain, I can authoritatively tell
you is not happy with Jeta based on how he has been handling the Black November
film project. The man met Jeta and decided to assist him by investing heavily
in the movie project. After spending over $ 8m on this international movie with
its theme on the Niger Delta, the man is yet to receive the finished work from
Jeta. It’s been one excuse and another from Jeta whenever Captain calls for the
finished work that has him as the executive producer/major financier.
In fact, because of his love for
Entertainment, Captain recently set up Wells Entertainment Limited, despite
what Jeta did to him. He has vowed never to ask or discuss anything about the
film with Jeta again, whom we learnt he is deeply disappointed with and has
distanced himself from by cutting off all communications link with,” revealed
this inside source.
Black November, a political film,
tells the story of the Niger Delta community's struggle against their own
government and a multi-national oil corporation. It features Hollywood stars
like Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Vivica A. Fox, Anne Heche and some Nollywood
prominent faces.
SHOWBIZPLUSng could not reach
Amata, whose marriage recently crashed and Okunbo for reactions before
publishing. Several calls put to their respective phone numbers did not
connect.
But trust us to keep you posted as
more shocking revelations unfurls in this messy fight.
