Hollywood superstar Idris Elba has been granted 80 acres of land in Zanzibar to establish an international film studio.

The announcement was made on Thursday, August 1, during the 27th anniversary celebrations of the Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF).

Zanzibar's Minister of Investment, Shariff Ali Shariff, confirmed that the Zanzibar government had held discussions with Elba and allocated him the land.

"The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, under the leadership of Dr. Hussein Mwinyi, has already granted him 80 hectares in Fumba to establish the International Film Studio," said Mr. Shariff.

The proposed International Film Studio is expected to rival established studios in Bollywood, Hollywood, and Nollywood.

Mr. Shariff added, "Now with this studio in Zanzibar, I don’t know whether we will call it Zollywood or Zawoo, I don’t know."

The idea for this project was first discussed in January 2023, when the news of Elba's plans was announced by Zuhura Yunus, then the Director of Presidential Communication.

This came shortly after Elba and his wife, Sabrina Elba, met with President Samia Suluhu Hassan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Idris Elba's acting career began with minor television roles, but he rose to fame in 2002 for his portrayal of Stringer Bell in the hit series 'The Wire'.

He continued to gain acclaim with his role in 'Luther' and has starred in major films such as 'Pacific Rim,' 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,' and 'Thor'.

In addition to his acting career, Elba is a music composer and producer, and he is actively involved in social causes.

The establishment of the International Film Studio in Zanzibar is expected to significantly boost the region's film industry, attracting international attention and providing new opportunities for local talent.

This development marks a pivotal moment for Zanzibar, positioning it as a new hub in the global film industry.

Wakuu, nimekutana na hii taarifa kuwa Serikali ya Tanzania imempa ardhi yenye ukubwa wa Hekyta 80 Mwigizaji nyota wa filamu Idris Elba kwa lengo la kujenga studio zake za filamu ikiwa ni kufuatia mazungumzo yaliyofanyika mwaka 2023 kati ya Elba na Rais Samia wakati walipokutana na Davos.

Pia, nimeona mtandao wa NairobiNews wa Kenya umeripoti kuwa mamlaka za Zanzibar zimethibitisha hilo. Naomba kufahamu kiundani kuhusu hilo.

Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu has given Hollywood star Idris Elba the go-ahead to set up a film studio in the country, allocating a huge chunk of land.

This follows Elba’s discussions with President Suluhu at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland in January 2023.

Elba, known for his roles in Luther and The Wire, has been vocal about his ambitions to develop Africa’s burgeoning film industry.

With roots in Sierra Leone and Ghana, the British actor envisions a studio to rival those in Hollywood, Nollywood, and Bollywood.

Zanzibar’s investment minister hinted at the possible nickname ‘Zollywood’ during the Zanzibar International Film Festival, adding: “I’m not sure what we will call it in Zanzibar, whether Zollywood or Zawood.

The President’s spokesman emphasized the potential impact of the project, saying, “If successful, the project will not only help Tanzania but also East and Central Africa.

Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous region within Tanzania known for its stunning white beaches, is a major tourist hotspot, making it a prime location for the new studio. Elba’s vision for African cinema doesn’t stop at Tanzania. Last year he discussed plans for a film studio in Ghana, tentatively called West African Studios.

“We’ve been working on this for three or four years to come up with a plan that will put a facility at the center of African filmmaking,” Elba told Ghanaian media in February 2023.

Despite recognizing the immense talent in Africa’s film industry, he pointed out that the necessary facilities were “lacking”.

Beyond filmmaking, Elba dreams of building an eco-friendly “smart city” in his father’s birthplace, Sierra Leone. Together with his childhood friend, he plans to regenerate an island off the coast of the West African country.
