"The dark forces are never to be underestimated." Silver Lining Entertainment has unveiled the full trailer for an international fantasy thriller titled Nine, made by actor turned filmmaker Chris Attoh. This Ghanaian production is an English-language movie about supernatural powers and strange ritualistic killings. Not to be confused with any of the other movies also titled Nine (including this stop-motion one). When a series of witchcraft-related murders plague Ghana, a homicide detective and an elite, all-female group of assassins must track down the killer before supernatural warfare is unleashed on Earth. They decide to bring in this detective from the US who looks a lot like Kevin Hart. The Nine cast is a mix of South African, Nigerian, American and Ghanaian actors led by Rosemary Zimu, Chris Attoh, Kate Henshaw, and Damien D. Smith, with Chasity Saunders, Juliet Ibrahim, Adjetey Anang, & Zynnel Zuh. Doesn't look like it's going to take the world by storm, but it's cool to see Ghana trying out some Hollywood movies of their own.
Here's the main official trailer (+ poser) for Chris Attoh's Nine, direct from YouTube (via BlackFilm):
When yet another young woman is killed in a ritualistic manner under a full moon in Ghana, a forensic consultant calls in the help of a homicide detective from the US.

The all-female group of assassins must track down the killer before supernatural warfare is unleashed on Earth. Nine is directed by Ghanaian actor / filmmaker Chris Attoh, director of the film Kintampo and the "Max Lewis" series previously, as well as an actor in many othr projects. The screenplay is written by Briana Cole and Erica Joy, from a story by Erica Joy. It's produced by Angela White of Silver Lining Entertainment.
