Nyong'o And Pitt Option "Americanah"

ScreenDaily says that "12 Years a Slave" stars  Lupita Nyong'o and Brad Pitt will reunite for the film adaptation of author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel "Americanah".

The 2013 National Book Critics Circle award winner follows a romance between two young Nigerians, a love that spans continents, visas, phone cards and breakups. At the same time it explores the cruelties and the humor of both the modern immigrant experience and the difficulty of finding your way home.

Pitt's Plan B Productions®, which produced 'Slave', has acquired the film rights to the book.

Pitt will produce while Nyong'o will produce and star.
