Kenyan
actress Lupita Nyong’O has gotten the film rights to Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie’s novel ‘Americanah‘. During Stylist Magazine‘s Stylist Book
Club Inaugural Session at the Waldorf Hilton in London on May 29, 2014,
Adichie said the Oscar winning actress now has the full rights to make a
derivative work off her popular novel. Adichie’s book ‘Half of a Yellow
Sun’ was also adapted into a movie and released in 2014, but it’s yet
to hit Nigerian cinemas as the National Films and Censors Board has
refused to approve it for public viewing.
