From the renowned producer and writer Franz Marx comes the Egoli film, a thrilling story about deep and dark secrets from Niek (David Rees) en Joe's (Darren Kelkens) past.
The story of the Egoli film continues several months after the TV-series ended on a high and surprising note - Chris Edward (Eckard Rabe) was murdered and Louwna (Bru"milda van Rensburg) was left a widow and - Joe made a surprise comeback out of the blue after a long absence.
In the film Joe's past is catching up with him, but Nenna (Shaleen Surtie-Richards) who still rules Windsor Manor with an iron fist, keeps a firm eye on the volatile Joe.
Peggy (Leandie du Randt), a sexy strip teaser, is the new girl in Joe's life and tries her best to deal with his outbursts and secret past, but this complicates his relationship with his ex-wife Candy (Michelle Beling).
Niek and Joe now work for the vixen TJ and after an incident the dark secrets, deeper than gold, start to haunt them and Joe faces the biggest test in his life.
Meanwhile Bienkie (Christina Storm) and her husband Koert (Ivan Zimmermann) return from Bela Bela and Koert's adopted "parents" Duifie (Casper de Vries) and Faan (Andre Stolz) also appear on Nora's doorstep in Brixton.
Niek's feisty wife Sonet (Tiffany Kelly) has to divide her time between motherhood and breakfast runs on her Harley - but she soon realizes that a ghost in Niek's past is haunting him.
The Egoli film is about self-analysis and the impact a dark and murky past has on two characters. But it is also about friendship, reconciliation, forgiveness, love and hope.
Egoli was created by Franz Marx and directed by Bromley Cawood . Christo Compion is the head writer and Burgert M"uller and Pieter Venter executive producers for Brigadiers Franz Marx Films.
Also starring Bru"milda van Rensburg as Louwna and Kaz McFadden as Nenna's grandson, Alexander.
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Egoli was filmed in Johannesburg and vicinity. The South African Police collaborated with the action sequences which were filmed entirely in Johannesburg City Centre and the Wild Hogs Club assisted with the Breakfast Run scenes.
Marx created the story with male viewers in mind but also with the challenge to entertain the regular Egoli viewer. The story of the film is self contained,in other words, moviegoers who didn't watch the series, will still be able to follow the story.
Marx appointed Christo Compion, head writer of the series, as well as Bromley Cawood, director of the series, to keep the continuity of the story and characters intact.
It is a story about real people and the story plays off against the backdrop of the new South Africa and its challenges. Most of the characters were extracted from the series, but it is a total new, compact story with lots of drama and action.
The subtitle of the movie is "Afrikaners is Plesierig" which is an ironic subtitle.
Brigadiers Franz Marx Films appointed the expertise of Cornell Boshoff from Carnell Collective to compose the score for the film.
