Nigerian-American actress, Osas Ighodaro has been handed the lead role in the forthcoming remake of ‘Rattle Snake’, an Amaka Igwe‘s 1995 crime thriller.

On Tuesday, Play Networks Studio, a production company handling the project, put out a poster for the highly-anticipated movie showing Ighodaro taking the central position with the subtitle ‘Rattle Snake The Ahanna Story’.

‘Rattle Snake’, which is acclaimed to be Nollywood’s first attempt at exploring action films, followed the story of Ahanna, a young man who gets lured into a life of crime after the death of his father.

The poster’s give-off comes after Larry Gaaga, a music producer, announced he had commenced production of soundtracks for the remake.

Charles Okpaleke, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Play Networks, had earlier said that the movie will hit cinemas in November/December 2020.
