Let's wait before we make any conclusions regarding the film. However, knowing how reputable a person Adichie is, one can only expect first-rate work. I wish her success so that the unheard voices and unseen terrors of the late sixties can be broadcasted to the world. Nne jisie ike. 2 Likes |

I wonder what role Zack Orji will be playing in the movie. It had better not be Odenigbo. He is too soft spoken for that. My guess for the cast are: Chiwetel Ejiofor- Odenigbo or Madu Thandie Newton- Olanna (though am secretly hoping she will not be Olanna. She is too old) Noni Rose- Kainene Genevieve- Miss Adebayo and the white guy is obviously Richard. |

tpia@: Maybe it's the same way that people can only pronounce Ibo instead of Igbo But on a serious note, I think it might have been a typo. |

odumchi: It's correct and not a typo. The name is actually BOYEGA. He played the lead role of Moses in the 2011 British teen sci-fi action film Attack the Block. . .and he did v. well. It got him some award nominations also. Meanwhile, make I quick go read the book so I can measure the film against it when it comes out. |

odumchi: Let's wait before we make any conclusions regarding the film. However, knowing how reputable a person Adichie is, one can only expect first-rate work. At this point Chimamanda has little or nothing to do with the success or not of the movie. She's sold the movie rights of the book and someone else (a screenwriter) has adapted it into a screenplay. It depends mostly on the Director & his crew and the cast now. 4 Likes |

The movie will be too emotional for me 2 watch. I know how bad I felt reading the novel. However,alot of romantic scene in there for whoever is gonna act Odenigbo vs Olanna. 1 Like |

Thandie Newton will obviously be cast as Olanna Chiwetel Ejiorfor - Odenigbo Genevieve/Anika Noni - Kainene/ miss Adebayo (hopefully) Zack Orji - Olana's Dad John Boyega - the Houseboy White guy - White guy wonder who will be Madu/ Mohamed / Harrison e.t.c it will be great opportunity to showcase Nollywood by using alot of local actors for ALL the other characters. I'm reading the book in swedish now (Its still a best seller here!!).. hve'nt read it in english yet, don't know if it's the same feel.. but i hope the movie will be as good. Goodluck! |

Seriously,i think the guy that wanted to start tribal confrontation does so because that is the way he gets off.why would anybody want to instigate attack on the person of the highly talented author loved and admired by all. |

methinks at the end of the day, the selling point of the movie will be determined by who plays ugwu's role and how well the person plays the character of ugwu. all this concentration on who plays olana or odenigbo or kainene wont sell this movie so well. get a funny character to interprete ugwu's role perfectly and that's all. |

I did some background research for the movie and I can only pray that it turns out well. The Cross Rivers state government has been very supportive as well. |
