Drake has set the release date for his anticipated “Nokia” video, which will arrive on March 31. The 6 God posted a teaser for the clip on Tuesday (March 25), revealing that the Theo Skudra-directed visual was shot for IMAX.
“NOKIA March 31st Directed by Theo $$$kudra Filmed for IMAX,” he captioned the cinematic trailer, which welcomes viewers into the OVO IMAX universe and changes the “A” into the brand’s signature owl logo.
Shooting in IMAX is an expensive proposition, but there’s seemingly no cost outside of Drake’s budget. “Shooting this in imax is insane. Its 2k per minute to develop the film,” producer BNYX wrote in the IG comments.
