Mercy Johnson sets her sights on box office dominance

She's the sweet actress adored by many, from the film producers to the bloggers to the press to the fans, Mercy Johnson is definitely doing a great job in positioning herself as not only the best female performer on the film scene but the most commercially desired name at the box office. 

With the back seat taken by the likes of Genevieve Nnaji and OmotolaJalade-Ekehinde in recent years, Mercy Johnson has shown tremendous industry and versatility in her craft which has not only won her praise by many, it has meant that she commands good financial packages for her roles in movies and justifyably so.

Therefore there is no coincidence that in a space of about 6 months Mercy will be appearing in 2 Nollywood blockbusters, one of which has set a record that will not be surpassed in a long time (30 Days in Atlanta) and the other set to release in cinemas in a few days’ time called 'Thy Will Be Done' which is Directed by hit filmmaker Obi Emelonye (of The Mirror Boy, Last Flight to Abuja and OnyeOzi fame, all AMVCA winning films by the way) and Produced by Jason and Mary Njoku'sRok Studios.

Thy Will Be Done is the story of Pius (Ramsey Nouah) is a happily married pastor in charge of a large church. His first wife whom he buried seven years ago suddenly shows up, and his world is thrown into turmoil. His present wife is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the intruder remains permanently out of his life. He has to make a tough decision as to which wife will remain in his home, after all, he was legally married to both; between old sins and new loyalties, taking firm action and surrendering to God’s will. Weakened by guilt and overwhelmed by sensational revelations, nothing would have prepared Pius for how rapidly things would descend into chaos…for hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

THY WILL BE DONE is out in all cinemas from 15th May, 2015.
