Her stance follows a string of recent remarks about a difficult filming experience on Viola Davis' fantasy project, which she described as terrible, and a firm declaration that she will never adapt another novel. The cut‑back reflects growing wariness among creators about how their works are translated to screen.

She also warned that she will ‘Never’ adapt another novel, underscoring a broader reluctance toward Hollywood partnerships. Coverage in The Guardian, Variety, Yahoo and thecut.com confirms Adeyemi’s explicit comment that she does not plan to watch the film, while AOL reports the broader context of her frustration with production conditions.
