David Oyelowo, currently getting praise for his role in the film “Selma,” about the Civil Rights marches and Martin Luther King Jr., has his next project lined up.
Variety reports he’ll star with Lupita Wyong’o in “Americana.” It’s a film based on the book with the same title and centers around a Nigerian couple who leave their homeland for the U.S. The book, written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 2013.
Wyong’o is also producing the film along with Plan B, Brad Pitt’s company. It also produced “Selma” and “12 Years a Slave.” The film doesn’t have a director yet.
