Co-produced by GDN studios ( Eyimofe), the new teaser is interestingly the third in a series of teasers hinting a potential release.
The short film was released four years ago as a proof of concept. Komotion Studio then secured funding for the feature length movie a year after that, and they have been in production for three years now, to follow the origin story of Sango, the revered Yoruba deity who wields authority over thunder and lightening.
'Dawn of Thunder' will pick up on the mythical character who according to folktale was the third Alaafin of Oyo and possessed magnificent powers.
“It’s an origin story which chronicles his life from birth till his eventual disappearance. We go back to where it all started, the questions he asked, the answers he was given, the visions about his future encounters and ultimately how these experiences will shape his future,” an excerpt from Komotion studios statement reads.
The latest clip teases what appears to be the young Sango’s introduction to supernatural power.

Shot in 2018, ‘Dawn of Thunder’ stars Sango (1997 epic directed by Obafemi Lasode) star Wale Adebayo, Jude Chukwuka, Funsho Adeolu, Fehintola Olalekan, Bimbo Ademoye, Gift Obasi, Layemi Fearless among others.
The latest teasers follows last year’s announcement of the film’s first international outing.
