Oliver Stone confirms MLK film starring Jamie Foxx. Officially: Jamie > Will

You're missing the point

Why is a white person still needed to get anything right with black narratives?

I take it you believe i think white people are needed to tell the stories of other races. Would i prefer the story to be written and directed and produced by someone black, i sure would. Im just saying that as long stories are told, there needs to be someone to tell them honestly and objectively...Spielberg in my eyes has shown me he can do that without regard to what kind of light it puts white people in.

 

[the cac mamba]

i could actually see fakkit ass chauncy killin that role

......Spielberg in my eyes has shown me he can do that without regard to what kind of light it puts white people in.

When he shows Jews in a candid light then holla at me................

but why are "black" stories still being told by outside races???? Why do "blacks" continually accept it?

Do you think their are no capable "black" producers, directors and writters who could tell this story more honestly then someone who is not of the same race could? Do you think their are none who could put together a quality film?

If you would prefer the story to be written, directed and produced by someone black then dont pay to see it when its not.

What is funny about this to me, is that when Oliver Stone made "Any Given Sunday" he told Jamie Foxx that he can't act.

Talk about a psychological blow.
Anyhow, they seem to have worked that out long ago. Probably on set. I don't recall all the details.

Agreed ..just find some unknown actor that can really act and looks like MLK..they're just doing it to sell at the box office..we need more black actors anyway in Hollywood..

naw b, we need for Tyler Perry and Oprah and others to pool their resources and start film making and distribution.. . that way we can come out with our own movies,,, and stop letting these caucasoids water down our history like they did red tails.....

Will it have the FBI wiretapping his infidelities scene and his famous line "I'm not a negro tonight!"

 

[BobbyBooshay]

Would have liked to see Steve Mcqueen do this

 

[Batter Up]

I was when i heard Oliver Stone tried to get his hands on the Ali movie but this is even more disgusting. Another case of this self important fakkit giving his own out of touch account of a historical figure and using their story as an easy way to draw at the box office.

 

[Jazzy B.]

I have no arguments over this... Although it is f**ked up what Hollywood is doing to him(Will Smith)..... que sera sera

Will's only now interested in putting vehicles for his talentless boy.

 

[Jesus]

Cuba should play MLK.

 

[King Poetic]

oliver stone got the gig cause hollywood was probably willing to invest more into it for him as a director compared to giving a black director a low budget amount

 

[cleanface coney]

Jamie Foxx will get all of the powerful black leader roles

even though hes a hollyweird fakkit that dates white women with herpes

he was awarded that plug when he did Django

 

[cleanface coney]

Ali been sayin this shyt since the 70s

[Slystallion]

i don't know Oliver stone biopics tend to be almost satirical and way too conspiracy to be respectful of the actual person the movie was about
