Idris Elba will reprise Pete Edochie’s iconic role in a TV adaptation of the Chinua Achebe classic Things Fall Apart, Variety reports.
In 1987, ‘Things Fall Apart’, which Amazon named among the 100 books that must be read in a lifetime, was developed into a very successful miniseries directed by David Orere and broadcast on Nigerian television by the Nigerian Television Authority.
It starred several established film actors, including Edochie in the lead role of Okonkwo and Justus Esiri as Obierika, with Nkem Owoh and Sam Loco Efe in supporting roles.
Things Fall Apart was published in 1958 when Achebe was barely 28 and is regarded as one of the single most important pieces of literature from Africa having been translated into more than 50 languages and sold over 10 million copies.
