David Oyelowo Lands ‘Americanah’ Lead Role

David Oyelowo is still riding on the success of ‘Selma’ the movie that centers on Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1965 marches for voter’s rights. The star, who has barely gotten to take a breather from his success, has landed the role opposite Lupita Nyong’o in the movie adaptation for ‘Americanah’.

Lupita Nyong’o is also producing the film, which is based on the book ‘Americanah’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The book follows a Nigeria couple as they leave their home country of Nigeria and the different paths they take on their new journey.

All that’s needed to really get production rolling is a director and writer.
