Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o to topline "Intelligent Life" sci-fi February 9, 2016 - 10:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star Lupita Nyong'o is looking forward to staying in the sci-fi genre. The Oscar-winning actress is in talks to star in "Intelligent Life" as the woman at the center of an alien contact, AceShowbiz reports. If the deal goes through, the film will pair Nyong'o with "Selma" director Ava DuVernay whose involvement is expected to be announced soon. THR reported on Monday, February 8 that DuVernay would receive an offer to direct within the next 24 hours. Despite having been offered to helm Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time", she would be able to do both because there is no conflicting schedule. "Intelligent Life" centers on a U.N. worker in a department that was created to represent humankind in the event of alien contact. The man falls in love with a mysterious woman who turns out to be an alien. "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow wrote the script with Derek Connolly and developed the project from their earlier collaboration titled "The Ambassador".
