*🎬 IDRIS ELBA WANTS TO BUILD AN "AFRICAN ODEON" 🎥* Big news from SXSW London: Actor and filmmaker Idris Elba says he’s on a mission to *level up Africa’s entertainment game.*💥 He’s planning to *build a cinema chain across the continent* — think a Netflix, but in real life. Right now, Africa has fewer than 3,000 movie theaters. Elba wants to change that: “The cinema experience we’ve all had should be available to a new generation, ' he said. But he’s not stopping at screens. *Elba’s also pushing for a full creative ecosystem that supports African storytellers* — from production to global distribution. The goal? Help local talent shine and prove to the world that African stories are worth investing in. 🌍🎬 *He also talked about Talking Scripts, an AI tool he built with a director friend to help dyslexic creatives* like himself read and perform scripts more easily. 💡📱 Elba’s final message? Creativity is capital. He wants *African youth* to realize *their imagination isn’t just a dream* — it’s a real asset that can build futures. 💭💰 👀 What do you think — *would you watch more African films if they were in your local cinema?* Drop a reply! 🔥
