Lupita Nyong'o to adapt 'Americanah' into a movie!

This is soooooo exciting!

In an interview with Stylist Magazine the author of Americanah confirmed that Lupita Nyong'o has optioned rights for the film version  of the book! Now optioning means that Lupita or her team have purchased the rights to the film adaption in hopes of turning into a movie. They still have find a studio & work out a number of kinks before it makes it onscreen! 

I'm reading the book right now so this news is right on time! Who would you like to see play the lead role? Hmmmm, I think Lupita would be great or even Danai Gurira!
