I have no strings on me.
Behind the Sony hack? Sony seems to think so. I personally have no idea ( l3ft th8t w0rld 8l0ng time ago ). But I wouldn't put it pass them, I mean all they have to do is deny it, not like you can throw them in Jail.
I was just about to post this.
He said "serious". The '89 "Batman", while classic, was goofy as shyt compared to "The Crow" and "Blade".

Supporting racist systems is still racist. These producers are trying to wash their hands blaming the international audiences just like how white store owners and real estate agents would say "oh well we would serve or sell to blacks but our white clients just won't like it. Sorry!" They're an equal part in the racism.
This is America. Other countries eat up things we put in the media that's why the American image is seen all around the world. If the US just started pumping out good movies with black leads people would go. Unfortunately, whites control the black image in America and they deem it inferior so choose to reflect that on the world.
How are these market analysis studies even accurate with few black leads in film? They think it'll tank, don't put in the effort for international release like a white film and then blame the audiences and sort of the black actor as well.
And it saddens me that Tyler perry and Oprah ran to make those statements especially Perry. You're a producer yourself. Use this as promotion of being an equal opportunity producer or something don't sambo your way to propping up your own competition.

That movie fukin sucked. No suspense at all. I only saw it for Denzel but halfway thru it I was tight that the script was weak
Dude, all that u typing is cool and all.. but the producer has the numbers to back up his opinion no matter how it comes off.
I know it didnt sound good. But, the producer is in the business to make the studio money. If Denzel was killing the game overseas, this wouldnt be an issue. They would milk the hell out him regardless
