The casting for Exodus: Gods and Kings
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1528100/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
look at the roles of black people
Director Ridley Scott's new biblical blockbuster, Exodus: Gods and Kings, has come under fire for "whitewashing" African history, casting four white leads to tell a story of Israelities and Egyptians.
Sydney's Joel Edgerton, a blue-eyed blond from Blacktown, has a shaved head and a deep tan to play the lead Egyptian role of pharaoh Ramses II.
A porcelain-pale Sigourney Weaver plays his mother, Queen Tuya.
US Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul features as Israelite leader Joshua and the English-born Christian Bale takes on the role of Moses.
Tariq Nasheed, a director of the race documentary series Hidden Colors, has campaigned against the film for "redefining history".
"The storyline takes place in ancient Africa, but all the African Kings and Gods are portrayed by white actors and all the slaves, thieves and 'lower class' Egyptians are played by Black actors," he wrote on Facebook.
"When I saw they have Sigourney Weaver playing an African queen, I was done."
A screenshot of the cast list on movie website IMDB, contrasting the roles of the black and white actors, has been retweeted more than 1100 times.
Some on Twitter have also taken aim at the set, particularly the nose on the Great Sphinx of Giza, saying it gives the statue a European profile.
The Exodus casting is the latest in a long Hollywood history of making actors play different ethnicities, no matter how much dark make-up is required.
Another Exodus actor, Englishman Ben Kinglsey,was rebuked for the heavy whole-body make-up he wore to play Gandhi, even though Kingsley has Indian heritage.
Anthony Hopkins went very orange as Shakespeare's Moor Othello in a 1981 BBC production while Charlton Heston stood up for the right of a white actor to play a Eurasian role in Miss Saigon.
The US legend declared the casting block "obscenely racist" and resigned from the Actors Equity labour union in protest.

First time I'm hearing of this horse shyt.....fukking ridiculous.
Haven't read through the entire thread yet, but in case it hasn't been pointed out yet....this is actually one of TWO whitewashed Egypt movies coming out. The other one is called Gods of Egypt....fukking Jamie Lannister is playing Horus. Geoffrey Rush is fukking Ra!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_of_Egypt_(film)
They added Chadwick Boseman fukking LATE, he will uncertainly have a minor role.
Un-fukking-believable. Both films just blatantly racist..
And this doesn't even mention the already-cancelled-by-fox-before-it-aired Hieroglyph.
(Show was appearently supposed to get in on the Game of Thrones market, but was so terrible Fox pulled the plug). Still...the intention was clearl.
These cacs are fukking TERRIBLE.
Yeah, I was happy as fukk when it got cancelled....thank god it was canceled, that would have been detrimental
Yeah, I was happy as fukk when it got cancelled....
I hope these movies bomb the fukk out. The Gods of Egypt one is probably sent to die anyways. This one has Bale and Ridley Scott (Who isn't a sure thing by any means, but can open films).
I like Sigourney Weaver...I think she's a fantastic actress, hell, maybe one of my faves just off the strength of the Alien films....but I don't see how one couldn't laugh their fukking ass off when she popped up on the screen. You gotta be fukking shytting me....
Naw I like Sigourney, but lets be real NO ONE is or has gone or checked for her in movies or tv. Sure you hear the name and its like ok cool she can act pretty damn good. But no one is checking for her, its stupid
Christian Bale is Moses?
That's supposed to be the Sphinx?
If that truely is Ridley Scott's vision of the Sphinx then this may indeed be the most prolific case of whitewashing ever seen.
That Sphinx is a fukking travesty.
I know, breh. That Sphinx... that Sphinx ...I'm legit angry at Scott for this. I thought he had more sense than this. I need a cleanser. A side view of the real thing:
They tried so hard to erase that nose, erase those lips................................ so Ridley Scott is saying fukk it and doing it on celluloid to screw the minds of those who will never see the real thing. That monstrosity Scott came up is
Just talking to my dad about this. Imagine the backlash of taking some viking mythos starring Idris Elba and Denzel Washington
Thing is, Rome is 3000 years younger than Egypt and the statues of the black Roman emperors are missing noses too
