A few weeks ago Hollywood Film superstar of Kenyan descent, Lupita Nyong’o and South African comedian and host of ‘The Daily Show’, Trevor Noah announced the adaption of the latter’s book Born A Crime for the cinemas. She revealed the name of the director for the adaptation, and it is South African-American filmmaker, Liesl Tommy.

Lupita made the announcement on Social media, she wrote:

Lupita had previously worked with Liesl Tommy on Eclipsed written by her Black Panther co-star, Zimbabwean-American actress, Danai Gurira. Lupita will star as Trevor’s mother, Patricia Noah, and produce the film alongside Trevor. No word yet on when shoot will commence and the date of release.

Moreover, Liesl ’s vast knowledge as Hollywood based filmmaker of South African heritage will give the film the kind of connection its need since the book was written by Trevor. And it is largely based on the apartheid era especially his mother who played a very pivotal role in his childhood and shaping him into the man he is now.
