According to MovieHole.net, Thandie Newton has been cast in a new film titled “Half of a Yellow Sun”.

Dominic Cooper, Thandie Newton, and Chiwetel Ejoifor are all locks for writer/director Biyi Bandele’s film about the lives of four people swept up in the turbulence of war.

British actress Thandie Newton insists she’ll never go under the knife because she doesn’t want cosmetic surgery to affect her ability to express herself.

The Crash star will be turning 40 in November (12) but she’s not worried about the aging process as her favorite actresses have all shunned the Hollywood trend for plastic surgery.

She tells Britain’s Hello! magazine, “I’ll be 40 this year, but honestly would not consider surgery; all my beauty icons are women with expressive faces.

“Isabelle Huppert ages so beautifully and gracefully, as have Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. I am struck by their expressive beauty.”
