Recreating the trailer perfectly, Ikorodu Bois’s stunning ‘low budget’ representation is being applauded by the original makers of the trailer as well.
The boys, who describe themselves as “your favorite mimickers,” recreated every scene using household items. From using toy cars to shoot an epic chase to using an empty cold drink can atop a toy rifle, there are plenty of unique methods used.
We so much love this movie and we hope @chrishemsworth and @netflix sees this remake, pls retweet 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/x47h9UV9Sz

Hemsworth then shared the video on Instagram and it had over six million views in less than six hours. Praising the boys for their efforts, Hemsworth said, “Huge shout out to these amazing young filmmakers @ikorodu_bois for recreating @extraction trailer shot for shot! I think your version might be better than the original!!”
The actor wasn’t the only one that blown away, Netflix also retweeted the video on Twitter with a caption said “most epic”. The producers, Russo Brothers, promised to invite the young filmmakers to the film’s premiere which totally a dream come true for filmmakers.
This would be a dream come through and this is the Day we’ve been waiting for all our lives😭 https://t.co/tSXyJXl14q

The boys—brothers Muiz Sanni, 15, Malik Sanni, 10, and their 13-year-old cousin Fawas Aina are no strangers to recreating scenes from famous music videos, Netflix, and Hollywood films. Muiz and Malik’s elder brother, 23-year-old Babatunde Sanni, edits and shoots the videos.
