\n\tNicholas Weinstock, the Emmy-nominated producer of Severance<\/em>, is on board to produce The Black Book 2 \u2013 Old Score<\/em>s, the sequel to Editi Effiong\u2019s 2023 Nigerian revenge thriller that smashed records worldwide. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe original Black Book<\/em>, made for just $1 million, hit no. 3 on Netflix\u2018s global charts in 2023, ranking in the top 10 in more than 69 countries and racking up more than 20 million views worldwide. It stars Richard Mofe-Damijo as Paul Edima, a former hitman and deacon, who takes revenge after his son is framed and killed by a corrupt police unit.<\/p>\n

\n\tWeinstock\u2019s Invention Studios is producing The Black Book 2<\/em> along with Effiong\u2019s Anakle Films. Effiong returns as writer and director on the sequel. The feature picks up where Black Book ended, with Paul Edima continuing his assault on the corrupt system. A blurb for the film says the second installment will \u201cdelve deeper\u2026into theme<\/a>s of justice, redemption, and societal unrest in contemporary Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Black Book<\/em> showed us that local stories can spark global conversations,\u201d said Effiong, in a statement. \u201cWith Old Scores<\/em>, we\u2019re not just continuing a story, we\u2019re continuing a movement \u2014 one that affirms the power of African voices to shape cinema worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat Editi\u2019s created with The Black Book<\/em> is unique in its power: not just a great action film but a film franchise of extraordinary skill, ambition, and worldwide commercial appeal,\u201d added Weinstock. \u201cIt\u2019s a phenomenal time for African and international creators to be delivering work at the quality level of traditional Hollywood and actually beyond \u2013 and to be stunning global audiences with sheer imagination and excellence. And there\u2019s no better example of that than Old Scores<\/em> and its game<\/a>-changing potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWeinstock\u2019s Invention Studios produced June Squibb action-comedy Thelma<\/em> (2024), and Weinstock\u2019s production credits include features like Queenpins<\/em> (2021) and Dinner in America<\/em> (2020), and the Emmy-nominated Showtime series<\/a> Escape at Dannemora<\/em>. He is one of the producers of AppleTV+ hit Severance<\/em>, which has been nominated for 53 Emmy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Black Book 2<\/em> isn\u2019t Weinstock\u2019s first Nigerian project. He is also producing Clarissa<\/em>, Arie and Chuko Esiri\u2019s Nigerian-set modern adaptation of the Virginia Woolf novel Mrs. Dalloway<\/em>, which stars Sophie Okonedo, David Oyelowo, and Ayo Edebiri, and which Neon recently picked up for U.S. distribution. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnakle Films is represented by 3Point0 Labs, with Effiong represented by Zero Gravity for writing and directing. Weinstock is represented by CAA and Aron Baumel of Goodman Genow Schenkman Smelkinson + Christopher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
