Things Fall Apart Copyright:- Chinua Achebe Wins 50cent
Nigerian Literary Writer Chinua Achebe has just won a battle against the producers of a biopic
“Things Fall Apart” written and acted by American rapper, 50cent.
When Chinua Achebe and his management first heard about this title which is the
same as Dr Chinua’s famous novel, “Things Fall Apart”, they
contacted the movie producers who in return offered $1m to retain the
name. The team wrote back:-
“The novel with the said title was first produced in 1958 (17 years
before 50cent was born), listed as the most widely read book in modern African
literature, and will not be sold for One Billion Dollars”
Following
this, 50cent and his management have now changed the title from “Things Fall
Apart” to “All things Fall Apart”………..kudos Chinua…
