Genevieve Nnaji’s name and scenes missing in ‘Half Of A Yellow Sun Movie’ (Movie Trailer)

A few months ago, reports from Nollywood indicated that the adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s award winning book, Half of a Yellow Sun, had a cast that included Thandie Newton, John Boyega, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dominic Cooper, Anika Noni Rose, Geneveive Nnnaji and Joseph Mawle.

However, E247Mag refuted the report claiming that “Genevieve’s scenes weren’t expressly important to the story, we reliably gathered because of Ms Nnaji’s way of acting, her character dragged the storyline, so it was cut out during editing. Her minor role was compensation to Nollywood. So, the film producers might be apologetic for cutting out her parts, as she should not try to go to the cinemas to see the film with her family members, else she will give herself heartache.”

Well, now we know E247mag is right, Geneveive Nnaji’s scenes have indeed been cut out of the movie.

The movie trailer was released a few hours ago and Geneveive Nnaji’s name was missing in the cast!
