Ridley Scott Tries To Explain Why The ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ Cast Is So White

[Soundwave]

Can you imagine the outrage if there was to be a movie based on the Greek empire, and the whole cast was black? Whites would lose their minds, hell they were mad about mbj being the human torch, and Spiderman being some blackp Puerto Rican

I find it hilarious...that hollywood has so little faith in black people and care so little about a black audience...than they would rather talk a pale white dude and spend hours a day covering him in bronze...than to just get a real life actor who has a bronze skin tone...and their are plenty of those...

Also Ridley...there are NOT a bunch of wild theories about the origins of the Egyptians...not really sure where he got that shyt from.

another reason this movie gonna flop....i'm glad, now get back to making a good alien movie.....

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

i'm really glad that there is virtually unanimous disgust with the casting of this flick.

i hope it flops harder than sin city

tell me some big name actors that are not white, that can pull off those 2 roles?

Egypt was – as it is now – a confluence of cultures, as a result of being a crossroads geographically between Africa, the Middle East and Europe. We cast major actors from different ethnicities to reflect this diversity of culture, from Iranians to Spaniards to Arabs. There are many different theories about the ethnicity of the Egyptian people, and we had a lot of discussions about how to best represent the culture.

I KNOW THIS!!!!! FACT OF THE MATTER RIDLEY SCOTT COULD HAD TOOK THE CHANCE LIKE MEL GIBSON DID WHEN HE DID APOCALYPTO AND HIRED AN UNKNOWN... RIDLEY SCOTT COULD HAVE TOLD THE STUDIO IM GONNA BE ACCURATE AND FIND GOOD ETHNIC ACTORS TO PLAY THESE ROLES!!!!! INSTEAD OF TOEING THAT COMPANY LINE BULLshyt...
