“I already talked to a guy here about it, I want to come back and take that character from ‘Coming 2 America’ and make a movie and I want to shoot in Ghana. Let’s put Ghana on the map, let’s get our actors some jobs, let’s get them known to the world,” he stressed.
Mr Blackson also hinted at building a multi-purpose facility where different talents can go to learn skills for their chosen careers.
“Ghanaians are so talented, you know we have to get out of us, you know people don’t know where to go. The actors don’t know where to get acting class, models don’t know where to find where they can become models and its so crazy.
“I was speaking with my assistant and talked about some kind of something to accommodate actors and fashion designers and that’s my ultimate.
He said the world knows him now and he feels he could open doors for others to see what Ghana has in stock.
