David Oyelowo joins Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o in “Americanah”December 16, 2014 - 16:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Having already secured a Golden Globe nomination for his work in “Selma,” David Oyelowo is looking to set up his future slate. Oyelowo is set to co-star with Lupita Nyong’o in the indie drama “Americanah”, Variety said citing sources. 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. 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.
