Lupita obtains rights for film version of Chimamanda 's Americanah
Actress Lupita Nyong'o has optained rights for the film version of
Americanah. Chimamanda Adichie apparently confirmed it today during a Stylist magazine book session in London.
The boy loved the girl, the girl loved d boy...but their passion was forbidden because unknown to him..the girl used to be a man and is also his half brother from an affair his father had in d early years of his marriage with his wife's friend. But the boy and his fiancee both dont know about dis yet...Now they are almost about to get married but the boy's family is against it because his fiance (d transexual) is from a very poor family......They dont know that this is d least of their problems...WATCH OUT FOR NEXT EPISODE.....lmao, i just made that up.I'm booooored!.
Bruno got an apartment wher he could b meeting wit bianca. Nd bianca is stil curious to knw who dropd d earing in her room,she suspects d mum nD d driver..she tot d driver wz gna leak dai lil secret to d hubby buh he didn't,so she is uncomfy @ d moment
Congratulations to her , however I do t want Lupita to play ifem . I want a Nigerian girl to play ifem and a very beautiful one , not that Lupita isn't beautiful it's just that the way ifem is described in the book doesn't match the physical characteristics of Lupita . I can't wait !!!!!!!
@anon 11:06 tell me you just made it up. It shouldn't end that way. I guess they had to end it after Biaca(Monica Spears) passed on, nobody to play the role. May her soul rest in peace, amen
Hw do u mean? She is a famous writer n Lupita is a newly famous actress. Do u even knw what movie rights are. Nyway sha it's ur hand u can type what u want 2 ----C21
I agree. Chinua Achebe didn't hire Kenyans or Americans to play Nigerian. You guys are stupidly gullible and that's why I support censors board. We are not good enough to act lead roles, but good enough to spend our money watching foreigners play Nigerians. Pathetic!
Look at this Witch of Endor named wilheminna moses, how dare u call someone who is so far above your pay grade an a**licker? Your biggest achievement so far in life is commenting on Lindas's blog 24/7. Chimamada is a woman that you can never in your life time hold a candle to. What a pass of sh*t that u are.
We need to start boycotting her movies. She is ashamed of using her country people as lead actors because all she's interested in is money and fame. This is no longer art, but business for her. Until she starts promoting her country instead of cooing over whites and black Americans, I say stop investing your hard earned cash on someone who cares only about her pocket.

On a very serious note,WHY hasnt Half of a Yellow Sun been released... For the first time Nigeria makes a movie with International recognition and they are just trying to delay the movie till the buzz dies. and the excuse they are giving dosnt even make sense to me,America releases LOTS of Historical movies on slavery and civil war and all and U dont see the blacks acting up do u. Seriously arent they tired of the mediocre movies dey make?....Poor village girl finally marries rich man, family issues, runs girls , fight for throne, love, love and more love. THEY DONT MAKE SENSE!!!......Please did anyone else watch SOMETIME IN AFRICA featuring Majid Michael.where he played 3 roles in d same movie. That movie was Epic. We are still here acting aki and paw paw...rubbish.
Slumdog Millionaire won a Grammy because the story was not only rooted in the India culture, but also acted by Indians not Americans acting indians. Chimamanda has shown she doesn't care for Nigerians. Why then are you drooling over her? She's putting herself on the map, not Nigeria. There my friends is food for thought!
You didn't get Memo that we now live in a global village. By the way, have you seen Half of a Yellow Sun? Chiwetal Ejiofor was just perfect in his role
Bruno askd bianca 2go check out a house wich wuld b 4dier luv nest but surprisingly he was der wen she cme nd dey made out. Yayie culdnt tell ariel wots up cos ariel kept interruptn him.flavior is in d US ina hospital but her fam finks shez in Argentina(I fink shez sick
CNA will not control the casting or directing of this movie. She was not involved in the casting of HYS. The most she can do is consult, but it is up to the director/producer ultimately, not the writer. I remember her saying , in an interview, that she wanted the director of HYS to change certain things, but the director refused. She said she had ti remove herself from the project, however, it pained her. You guys need to give her a break.
Hope the movie gives more attention to the relationship between Ifemulu and Obinze. In the book, the reader gets a glimpse of it at the start and then another at the end. Otherwise, the story meanders to vignettes of adventures in Ifemulu's life. Obinze is treated as an afterthought called upon at the end for an obligatory happy ending.
Congratulations to her.... abeg wetin happen for forbidden passions no light for my house

ReplyDeleteYou didn't get Memo that we now live in a global village. By the way, have you seen Half of a Yellow Sun? Chiwetal Ejiofor was just perfect in his role
DeleteSorry, Slumdog Millionaire won an Oscar and it was acted in India. Unknown actors who were given a chance! Think about that.
ReplyDeleteGood for he o, hope she stars in it cos I don't see these jelous white folks creatlng another black film anytime soon
ReplyDeleteBruno askd bianca 2go check out a house wich wuld b 4dier luv nest but surprisingly he was der wen she cme nd dey made out. Yayie culdnt tell ariel wots up cos ariel kept interruptn him.flavior is in d US ina hospital but her fam finks shez in Argentina(I fink shez sick

ReplyDeleteGood for her.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting and good news. I hope they will show it in Nigeria now that Chimamanda's Half of the Yellow Sun is on ban.
