Robert Downey Jr. Has A Shelved Movie Directed By Jamie Foxx That Can't Be Released

[HipHopStan]

I remember Jamie talking about this movie on Joe Rogan's show a few years ago (2017). I always wondered what happened to it.

Sounds great but Americans have killed comedy films, can't remember the last good comedy flick I saw.

One of the weird and funnier things about this movie is if you go to its imdb listing, Lebron is supposedly portrayed by Progressive Motaur. I’m hoping it wasn’t edited by anyone as some sort of joke and he really did play him

RDJ CAN PLAY A BLACK MAN
BUT HE CANT PLAY A WHITE LATINO?

IN REALITY...PIVEN BEING THE CO STAR
IS THE REASON THIS MOVIE HASNT
BEEN RELEASED...
NOT SOME SMALL ROLE BY RDJ.

THIS WRITER IS JUST TRYING
TO CAPITALIZE OFF THE RECENT FRANCO/CASTRO CONTROVERSY FOR CLICKS.

I was happy as hell that Tugg Speedman won the Oscar that year for that film.

People understand satire. But out of all the jokes they could have done why choose Blackface?

And if he wanted to be so witty with satire he should have dressed up like a Jewish person instead. And found out how well that would have gone over.

But they didn't because they knew that "satire" wouldn't be tolerated so they choose Black people instead to mock because k00ns like Jaime will give them a pass.

Tom Cruise played a Jewish exec. He was willing to exploit and sacrifice everyone for the bottom line.

The same people that thought it was a good idea to have RDJ play a Black man in 2008, I suppose.

That was different tho
Because the other characters acknowledged it was ridiculous
It was part of the plot

Speedy (Foxx's best friend) has been talking about this movie for years. Now we know why it's not released.

I don't get it. The same gripes these people have with that part/role is the exact reason it was done - AND explained.

Whether or not people think the movie is enjoyable/funny/good is another thing, but attacking the black face angle is ridiculous.

Except he never played a black man

RDJ is in character for the commentary track, and when he first drops it he goes into his Kirk Lazarus character for a bit. Pure fukkery
