The wait is finally over.
We’ve been anticipating ace producer and director Blessing Egbe’s latest film, The Ten Virgins, after we saw the trailer which was released way back in October 2018. Whatever took it so long to hit the cinemas? We began to fear whether we missed the cinema schedule, which is, frankly speaking, is highly unlikely or if the film project was abandoned.
Thankfully, our fears have been led to rest as the producers now have cinema dates for the movie.
The Ten Virgins is said to have so far cost over N50m to produce. It’s a musical drama woven around 10 maidens, who like the young chaste women in the Biblical story from which the movie derives its title, must remain faithful amidst temptations, in their commitment to the greatest prince in the land.

The film stars many upcoming actors including Honey Adum, Chinoso Young, Damilare Kuku, Blessed Effiong, Bukky Okorodus, Thin Tall Tony, Leelee Byoma, Jade Dunni, Osareme Inedenebor, Chidera Makata, Oge Aniegboka, Ola Taiwo, Sergi Emmanuel, Tunbosun Aiyedehin and Priye George.
Speaking on the film, Blessing says: “My intention is to tell a story that is unique and entertaining. We have achieved that goal, so far. This movie derives its strength from the quality of story-telling, not just the actors and actresses. We paid attention to technical details and all the elements that make a movie great.
“I am very confident and hopeful that people will like this. Nollywood needs substance and that substance starts from the depth of the stories we tell. Here, we have a good story that is well told in Ten Virgins. It is a modern day musical. It is so simple, yet so captivating. Thinking about this movie alone makes me so excited that goose pimples break out all over my body. I know that a lot of people will like this movie.”
Ten Virgins will be in the cinemas as from August 2, 2019.
