BBC Films has acquired the bestselling Chris Cleave novel “Little Bee,” and Nicole Kidman has attached herself as star and producer, reports Variety.
The story follows a fateful encounter on an African beach in which a 16-year-old Nigerian orphan named Little Bee meets a vacationing upper-middle-class British couple who’ve wandered into an area outside the safety of their resort.
Shawn Slovo is writing the script.
