There's A Biopic In The Works About Fela Kuti! Focus Features in tune with Fela Kuti biopic
updated 11:58 p.m. ET Jan. 14, 2009 PARK CITY, Utah (Hollywood Reporter) - Focus Features is developing a biopic about Fela Kuti, the late Nigerian musician and political maverick. The studio has acquired the book "Fela: The Life and Times of an African Musical Icon" by Michael Veal as source material. Kuti, whose full name was Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, garnered fame in the U.S. for his fusion style of music known as Afrobeat. He often was imprisoned on what human-rights groups called trumped-up charges when he went back to his native country and spoke out against its government and policies. He died in 1997. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28666720/ | |
