Both Nouah and Okpaleke are said to have bought the rights to redo the movie from the owner and producer, Kenneth Nnegbue and production of the movie will commence in 2016.

Also, the movie which will be star studded will have casts from Nollywood and Hollywood and it will be shot in three different continents, Africa, Europe and America.

Living in Bondage is often times used as the yard stick used to measure how long Nollywood has been in existence because the production of the film can be said to be the pioneer movie for birth of modern day Nollywood. Such films like Karishika, Yemi My Lover, Glamour Girls, Domitilla and the likes followed shortly after LIB.

Nollywood has truly come a long way since then.
