Yes! we always knew genny baby had big things in her future, it was only a matter of time. and now she's done it, hurrah to her. She's set to play the role of Miss adebayo, a proffessor in Odenigbo's ( chiwetel ejiofor) intellectual circle, though not a major role in the movie, it definitely is a step in the right direction.
Half of a Yellow sun is a drama depicting the lives of Odenigbo, his sweetheart Olanna, the houseboy Ugwu, Kainene (Olanna 's twin) and her lover - a white man named Richard who's lives are conflicted due to the biafran war and who struggle for a semblance of normality within it all, it is a beautifully written book which I hope translates to both critical acclaim and box office success. Directed by Biyi Bandele, the cast include chiwetel ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Dominic Cooper among others.
I can already smell a Best Foreign Film nod at the Oscars!
