"All things fall Apart" is a 2011 American drama film starring Ray Liotta, 50 Cent, Mario Van Peebles, and Lynn Whitfield.
"The movie was produced under the same title as Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel Things Fall Apart. After being contacted by Achebe's legal team, 50 Cent offered $1 million to keep the title Things Fall Apart for the film. The author of the 1958 novel took this as an insult. "The novel with the said title was initially big money 1958. It is listed as the most-read book in modern African literature, and won't be sold for even £1 billion". The film was renamed to All Things Fall Apart".
Achebe's book is a timeless classic, well worth it's weight in gold.
