It’s been about a year since Kemi Adetiba‘s Netflix release of “King of Boys: The Return of the King.” According to a recent Instagram post, the film director will begin production on a new movie called “To Kill A Monkey” pretty soon.
“Bending to the threatening messages I’ve been receiving, I’m super excited to announce our next project and film from the KAV stables, “TO KILL A MONKEY”, said Adetiba. “Once again, I’m branching out and exploring something really different and pushing my creative limits, but I thoroughly believe in my spirit that this is my next challenge to conquer.

And with all that said and done… We look forward to seeing you all at the box office. *ps. Keep your eyes and ears open for “stay-home-auditions” announcements*.”
