"American producer Kisha Cameron-Dingle, director of the Focus Features Africa First Short Film Program who also has a first-look deal with the studio, has scooped up the rights to Nigerian author Nneki Okorafor's 2011 World Fantasy Award winner "Who Fears Death?," a coming-of-age fantasy story, set in a rural Africa far in the future, where a female sorcerer reshapes the dystopian desert landscape -- Cameron-Dingle described it as "?'Lord of the Rings' in Africa."

Kenyan Wanuri Kahiu ("From a Whisper," "Pumzi") is slated to write and direct Who Fears Death?" while Beukes, an experienced TV writer, has first look to adapt the "Zoo City" screenplay."
