LUPITA NYONG'O TO
PRODUCE & STAR IN 'AMERI- CANAH'
Beside scoring a gig in new STAR WARS, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o will also star in AMERICANAH, a movie adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (also wrote HALF OF A YELLOW SUN) bestselling novel which she will also produce with Brad Pitt. Named one of the ten best books of the 2013 by 'The New York Times', the novel tells the epic love story of young Nigerians, Ifemelu and Obinze - a romance that spans continents, visas, phone cards, and breakups, while exploring the cruelties and the humour of both the modern immigrant experience and the difficulty of finding your way home. Lupita is also scheduled to lend her voice in the new big screen version of THE JUNGLE BOOK!

BBC & HBO ADAPTATION OF J.K. ROWLING'S 'CASUAL VACANCY'
BBC and HBO have revealed the lineup of actors which will appear in their small screen three episode adaptation of J.K. Rowling's popular novel THE CASUAL VACANCY which centres on Pagford, a seemingly idyllic English village with a cobbled market square and ancient abbey. Behind the pretty façade, however, is a town at war: rich vs. poor, teenagers vs. parents, wives vs. husbands, teachers vs. pupils. Michael Gambon (already starred in Rowling's HARRY PLOPPER) will play the lead role of Howard Mollison, owner of the Pagford delicatessen; Monica Dolan plays Tess Wall, Julia McKenzie (MISS PARPLE) plays Howard’s wife, Rufus Jones plays Howard’s son, Miles Mollison, Keeley Hawes (also known as Matthew MacFadyen's wife) plays Miles’ wife, while Rorry Kinnear plays Barry Fairbrother. The shooting begins next month.

 JAMES MARSDEN IN NICHOLAS SPARKS GORGEOUS LOVE STORY
Gorgeous trailer comes today from the latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel: THE BEST OF ME, in cinemas this October, tells the story of Dawson (James Marsden and Luke Bracey) and Amanda (Michelle Monaghan and Liana Liberato), two former high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of a beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they've never forgotten, but soon they discover the forces that drove them apart twenty years ago live on, posing even more serious threats today. Spanning decades, this epic love story captures the enduring power of our first true love, and the wrenching choices we face when confronted with elusive second chances.
