It was gathered that David Oyelowo , the popular Nigerian/British actor who recently secured a golden globe nomination is looking to set up his future. He had a major role in the Butler ( he was amazing), the rise of the Planets of ape and other movies.
Sources says Oyelowo is set to co-star with Lupita Nyong’o in the indie drama “Americanah.”written by one of our own Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Based on the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie novel, the story follows a pair of young Nigerian immigrants who face a lifetime of struggle while their relationship endures.
Brad Pitt is producing through his Plan B production banner along with Nyong’o and Andrea Calderwood. Plan B produced “Selma,” and after having such a good experience working with them, Oyelowo jumped at the opportunity to board another project they were producing.
The film is now looking to attach a writer and director, with no production start date set yet.
David Oyelowo has a busy end of the year, with “Interstellar,” “Selma” and “A Most Violent Year” all bowing in the last month. He is expected to be in the Oscars conversation for his performance in “Selma,” and he can be seen next in the indie “Captive” opposite Kate Mara.
