Nigerian author Chinua Achebe's objection to the working title for rapper 50 Cent's latest movie has caused a name change from Things Fall Apart to All Things Fall Apart. The Guardian reported that 50 Cent "spent much of 2010 shooting a film of the same name, the story of an American football player diagnosed with cancer." Directed by Mario Van Peebles, the movie premiered at the Miami film festival last March and is expected to be released soon.
When Achebe's legal team contacted him, "50 Cent allegedly offered $1 million to hold on to the title." The offer was, as might be expected, declined.
