Pass The Popcorn: Chiwetel Ejiofor & Thandie Newton Shines In 'Half Of A Yellow Sun' Trailer

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half Of A Yellow Sun is getting the silver screen treatment with Oscar nominee/12 Years A Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton in the picture's focal roles and Biyi Bandele at the helm as director. The film adaptation will do its best to do right by Adichie's Biafran wartime novel, which chronicles the war's effect on Nigeria's citizens through the story of 2 sisters who have recently returned from their English educations to a country torn to pieces by Nigeria's Civil War. Still no word on a stateside release, but the film will be gracing screens across the UK as of April 11th. So go ahead and peep the UK trailer below and head over to OKA for the full scoop.
