Principal photography has begun for the much-discussed (on S&A anyway) film adaptation of celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Orange Prize-winning novel, Half Of A Yellow Sun, in Nigeria

We already know that Thandie Newton, John Boyega, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dominic Cooper, and Genevieve Nnaji make up the film’s cast; but I only just learned that Anika Noni Rose and Game Of Thrones’s Joseph Mawle are also in the film, which is playwright Biyi Bandele’s feature film directorial debut.
Anika Noni Rose Will Be Thandie Newton’s Twin In “Half Of A Yellow Sun” Film Adaptation; Shooting Underway | Shadow and Act. So many reasons to look forward to this adaptation!
