In an era of remakes in Hollywood,

The filmmaker took to his Instagram page to tease a remake of the 2003 movie, "The Bridesmaid."

Novia teased a remake with the caption;

I wrote, produced and directed this movie in 2003. 'The Bridesmaid' had an ensemble cast of RMD, Stella Damasus, Kate Henshaw and Chioma Chukwuka amongst others.

A breezy romantic comedy, one of the early experiments in Nollywood with that genre, it became one of the most loved movies for November Productions. The ladies loved it!

I remember we had so much fun on set 14 years ago and the bonding by cast and crew reflected in the final visual cut. Maybe I would do a remake of this movie next year with a fresh cast? Remakes are being made in Hollywood these days and won't be a bad idea!

In "The Bridesmaid," Tega who has had series of failed relationship is tired of being a bridesmaid to all her friends, and never a bride.

Then there's her friend Kate, who plans to marry a rich Steve for his Wealth. Tega coaches her on how to capture his love. In search of true love, Steve fakes a crippling accident to test Kate's love for him.

Kate asks Tega to care for him while she travels to London for pleasure. During their time together, Steve and Tega bond and discover they have feelings for themselves.

The 2003 movie featured Richard Mofe Damijo, Chioma Chukwuka, Kate Henshaw and Stella Damasus in lead roles.
