You’ve seen the first official trailer for the film adaptation of  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie‘s best-selling novel, “Half of a Yellow Sun” and many people have been wondering why Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji was nowhere to be found. Especially as there was a lot of buzz at the time it was announced that the top Nigerian actress will be featured in the film.

While the first trailer is almost the same as this new one, there is a slight difference. In the second trailer, Nollywood superstar Genevieve Nnaji is featured playing her role as Miss Adebayo.

Earlier this year, a rumour broke out that the Nollywood Superstar will no longer be featured in the movie and that her role had been removed from the story. According to the rumours, her role was cut off from the film because of her “poor acting.” And with the first trailer, a lot of people believed the rumour was true.

With this second trailer, however, it is clear that the screen goddess is a part of the film. Half of a Yellow Sun, the movie, directed by Biyi Bandele, features stars such as Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Anika Noni Rose as well as Nollywood stars such as Gloria Young, Zach Orji, Onyeka Onwenu, Tina Mba and Genevieve Nnaji.

Also, Half of a Yellow Sun has been selected as the Opening Night Gala Film of the 2013 edition of the trinidad+tobago film Festival.

The trinidad+tobago film festival (TTFF) is an annual celebration of films from and about Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean and its diaspora. The Festival also screens films curated from contemporary world cinema. In addition, the TTFF seeks to facilitate the growth of the Caribbean film industry by hosting workshops, panel discussions, seminars, conferences and networking opportunities.

Check out Genevieve in the second trailer Half of a Yellow Sun.
