He wrote the script though.
Really? I wonder why he threw in the towel...

Why not just cast a gay man?
Hollywood likes acting like it's progressive but it seems the system bosses like getting people to do things they don't want to do.

shyt give the role to Diddy, heāll do it
Stop lol I genuinely want to know since he wrote the script. Its crazy to spend all that time crafting something and pulling in other people to help with it, all to just abandon it.He knew we was gonna cook him in the Film Room
On the one hand, Joaquin was clearly chasing Oscar bait trying to play this role. Apparently its a
1930s detective, and he wanted to make it "provocative" but when they came back with the final draft he was like 
The pros and cons about Hollywood being this fake progressive paragon, is this imo
On the one hand, the CRAFT itself of acting takes a hit, cause now people are gonna write roles for specific characters based on their race/sex orientation/gender and have it locked. Its not like back in the day where a straight actor could play a gay dude and win an oscar, or a black actor could audition and take a role meant for a white actor like say Darth Vader, or vice versa like Neo was meant for Will Smith... it was based on who had the chops and who fit the role better
On the other hand, its good because now along with more representation comes more authenticity. No more cacs playing Ghengis Khan or Jesus, and no more having to Kiss a breh if you want to be recognized for your "gravitas" and range
