Emphasizing on the project ‘LOST’ Van outlined, “It is my career and my passion, I am giving it my all to make it work. This piece is more or less an epic modern kind of movie and Ghanaians will experience a never seen before action. I want to expose areas that have not been explored in the industry. I thank God for my fantastic production team and I know without a doubt that we will deliver.”
He continued to say that, the movie, ‘LOST’ will be out in December or early next year and fans should expect to see ‘a different movie’. The movie dubbed to be a blockbuster never seen before features Ghallywood and Nollywood stars.
