C.O.L.D, Bakia T. Thomas’s star-studded thriller, has revealed its official trailer ahead of its August 12, 2022, theatrical release.
The trailer’s first look reveals religious and supernatural characters, one of whom is shown as Satan. The Devil is referred to in the teaser as the ‘Son of the Morning,’ a common name used to identify the character played by veteran actor, Pete Edochie.
While the plot of the film has not been revealed, the trailer suggests that it will be a thriller recounting the story of the eccentric biblical character.
Pete Edochie in one of the monologues in the trailer confirms our curiosity that he will indeed play the character.
“I am the Son of the morning, full of wisdom rich in beauty. I command the celestial choir because I write all the songs but how has humanity portrayed me but a monster with horns and a long barbed tail.”
The film C.O.L.D is reported to be an adaptation of a book published in the United States. Also, several Hollywood production companies attempted to acquire the rights to the book, but the author turned down the offers.
“I’m super excited that I was chosen by God to have told this story. Never made a film of this magnitude in my life and I count it a privilege. It was a massive work put in here by the cast and the crew of this movie.
“Being an adaptation of a book that was published in the United States, 4 different Hollywood film Companies tried to acquire the rights of the book to make a movie from it and the Author refused.” – Bakia T. Thomas.
C.O.L.D stars a stellar cast of Nollywood veterans, including Richard Mofe Damijo, who plays a religious leader, Hilda Dokubo, Ireti Doyle, Kanayo o. Kanayo, Keppy Ekpenyong, IK Ogbonna, and Freddie George.
