But who gives a fukk, keep thinking the white man is to blame for all your problems

Yall worried about historical accuracy in a movie that's going to depict a man interacting with god, and magically parting the Red Sea?
Hell naw, nikka. It's just da principality of it.

come on brehs really what the fukk was the man supposed to say when posed with the question...
"uh yea the studio mandated the cast be primarily white cause it's a big budget picture and they didn't have the confidence it would perform with a largely african cast..."
y'all muthafukkas would have been upset either way.
he's just bein political. yea it's sad that this is the way hollywood still works but it is what it is. i never expected RIDLEY SCOTT to be the one to open up that dialogue and break down those barriers.
and come on fellas it's based on a fukkin bible story. it's not a historical period piece.

Now lets see if they made a black male play superman and Indian play batman
Now let's watch the same ppl that says it's based on a fukking bible story applied the same logic on a fukking comicbook story. These fakkits still talking about the human torch and that dude in thor

Why not make a movie in 1700's Britain wit all blacc people as the main cast, king,queen & cacs as slaves.

Wasn't Will Smith suppose to star in a movie based in Ancient Egypt? Wonder what happened to that
He gave up cause he couldn't get the financing he needed.
Hell naw, nikka. It's just da principality of it.

these things could work but they would have to play around wit the origins a lil bit. a black kid raised on a farm in kansas?
but theoretically i believe a re-imagining could work. look at what they're doing with annie. looks pretty good. and remember the wiz?

No they could not work...especially today....Annie is different...that only goes to a small demographic...and it's a play for god's sake....Denzel was cast in Brutus in Julius Caesar...Superman and batman are totally different animals
The only icon I can think that is possible to be played by a black person is James Bond....1 because they already did a secret screen test with Idris Elba and they "leaked" the rumors that they screen test him just to test the waters and start the convo.

i'm not saying you're gonna get a big budget blockbuster type movie featuring a black superman or a black batman anytime soon, i'm just sayin that feasibly it could work.
i wouldn't be surprised if one day someone were to attempt it on a smaller scale.
