Onyeka And The Academy Of The Sun gets Netflix movie

Will Smith, Jon Mone, David Oyelowo, and Netflix are working on a film adaptation of Tọlá Okogwu’s upcoming superhero book, Onyeka and the Academy Of The Sun.

Netflix has joined forces with Westbrook Studios’ Will Smith and Jon Mone, and Yoruba Saxon’s David Oyelowo on a film adaptation of Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun.

Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun is based on the upcoming superhero-themed book by Tọlá Okogwu. The book follows a teenager who travels to Nigeria to learn more about her newly-discovered magical powers that come from her hair.

Okogwu’s Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun will be published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S. and U.K. this June.  Ola Shokunbi (Satellite, Indigo, upcoming A Yellow Heaven) is set to write the adaptation.
