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

[Cat piss martini]

Not Ancient Egyptians

Egypt is 5,000 years old.

Arabs came roughly 1300 years ago. They're new. Like white people in America. Whites weren't in America 600 years ago. It's the same thing.

"Moses" supposedly lived 3,500 years ago, which is during the period of Black Egypt. He was dark enough to go hide out in Ethiopia. Breh wasn't a cac.

So sick of repeating this

THIS.......
also proving that the hebrews of that day were black also.
* not the khazar gypsies of today*

Will Smith was supposed to play Taharqa and he's as big as anyone. You're telling me a film on ancient Egypt with Will playing the hero and Denzel the villain wouldn't do numbers?

I just dont see will smith and denzel playing in movies like this one
They are both great actors but i just dont see it

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I'm tryna put together a movie about Harriet Tubman.

Thinking of going with Jennifer Lawrence.

I cast based on talent, not historical accuracy.

Channing Tatum as Malcolm X

Someone need to contact Keenan or any other Wayans Fam memeber and get these films in production!!

Directed by John Singleton

thats the problem, how will they ever get a chance to do it if one of these directors dont take risks!!! the reason you dont see it is because you've been indoctrinated...

This guy is well known?

lets face it exodus has a huge buget an needs to make a lot of money.
This kind of movie is not going to make money unless some A list actors are goin to star in it.

In what universe is Joel Edgerton an A-list actor?

This guy is well known?

his career took off in the past years and holywood loves him atm

i don't know why Ridley didn't just cast the dude who played Saladin in Kingdom of Heaven, if he wanted to go down the "culturally varied" mixed.

I don't have a problem with Bale as Moses, but everything else.


and the movie looks dope to me too :sadwes:

Good trolling cac. I bet your cac mom doesn't know who he is. He is not a "well known" actor or is a "big name".

didn't check


Tahar Rahim from A Prophet would have been a better choice then

where are you gettin theese "facts "
egypt is like 3000 and not 5000 years old

3500 BC - 2014 AD = 5,000 years old

Arabs conquered Egypt in 642 AD
Romans conquered Egypt in 30 BC
Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BC
Persia, Assyria, Nubia conquered Egypt one after another going on back to 800 BC

Any time period before that (before 800 BC) there were no invasions and no large groups of outside peoples besides the century (1700BC-1600BC) the Hyskos ruled until they were kicked out. "Moses" supposedly lived somewhere between 1500 BC and 1200 BC. That just so happens to be the period of the New Kingdom. The greatest era of Egypt. They were black. There is no record of anybody else but Africans being there then They were black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, BLACK, black They may not have been midnight blue black but, neither are most African Americans.

Lets face it white ppl are just better actors
You have to live with it and not be bitter.
You have music and sports

 

[Jello Biafra]

Taken off?
Dude is the definition of a working supporting actor. His name means nothing to the box office of any movie.
Like I said in my first post...I could understand Bale as Moses but Edgerton as Ramses is just some bullshyt.
