After the epic battle with Akorfa Ejeani Asiedu, ‘Opera Square Mafia,’ piracy and many reported betrayal from her close associates, Ghana’s international writer, director and producer, Leila Djansi has finally pitched a permanent camp in Hollywood.
She is currently debuting with indie drama titled, “And Then There Was You’, which is starring a number of Hollywood big names. Even though, Ghana’s award winning director, Tony Prince Tomety has been flown to the USA to work on the production, no Ghanaian actor has made it on the set.

Interestingly reports from Nollywood said Nollywood actor Jim Iyk and Nigerian born American actress Ebbe Bassey are playing supporting roles in the film.

Weeks ago the Hollywoodreporter.com reported that Garcelle Beauvais stars in the film as a teacher who has to pick up the pieces of her life after her husband leaves. When she falls for a new man, she discovers he, too, has possible relationship-ending secrets. Djansi wrote the script while Suzanne Patrick, Ryan Daly and Tim Taylor are producing the movie and Dave Harper is the executive producer.
Also in the movie are Lynn Whitfield, Greg Vaughan, Leon Robinson, Kate Nauta and Trilby Glover. Shooting starts in May in Los Angeles. The project is being made as a Turning Point Pictures production in association with OHTV, headed by Akin Salami and Michael Djaba.
