How Lupita landed role in Hollywood
Multiple-award winning film producer and actress Lupita Nyong’o has landed a leading role in a Hollywood film, which will see her cast alongside world’s greatest Brad Pitt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Ruth Negga and Adepero Oduye among others. Lupita,will play the role of Patsey, a slave who, paradoxically, is the object of both the affections and cruelty of Master Epps (Fassbender) in the upcoming Steve McQueen-directed movie, 12 Years a Slave. It had been speculated that Adepero Oduye would play that role after it was announced that she’d been cast in the film but the film directors finally settled for Lupita.
