You're one of those cats who turn down any sort of progress and trivialize discussion which IS a stepping stone to greater advances.Typing on a message board isn't going to fix it. If you feel strongly about it, get some dudes together, write a screenplay, and work on getting funding to make this an actual movie.
But let's be honest, no one in this thread is going to actually DO anything other than say fukk cacs on a message board
Will Ridley Scott's Exodus be the GOAT whitewashing movie?

- Start date
double edged sword cause the way shyt seems to work is that they will only market movies to audiences who will return their investment...
cold world...
Black films were way more diverse in past years than they are today, that statement just isn't founded in reality
the black filmmakers just don't make the type of films you're talking about, instead of bashing tyler perry, young people should take the craft and learn how to make the films they want to see

nikka, the dude dunking the basketball over the cop car is doing more than you, and you have the audacity to tell him about the need for action
Serious question breh, what have you done to help your community other than creating threads on thecoli
At least he's willing to show his face in support of something he believes while you conveniently hide behind a screen name :brehwow2:

Black people owned our own theatres and shyt back then that's why
And there in lies the problem. These movies are privately funded and they're expensive as hell. Let's be brutally honest here; how many people will pay money to see an all black cast movie. Outside of America most black movies rarely do well and I doubt this will.double edged sword cause the way shyt seems to work is that they will only market movies to audiences who will return their investment...

So if you're an investor and you want your investment to pay off you go to the safest route: cast white actors.
Again, who is racist? Is it Hollywood or the general public? Chicken and egg type shyt.

I wrote my first book this year. Not the same thing as a screenplay. Im interested though
I've always wanted to do a Egyptian/African themed Game of Thrones/Lord of The Rings. I watch Troy and 300 and Spartacus, and I think it would be beautiful to tell a mythology story like that from our perspective. I filed the idea away for later because I feel like it would take loads and loads of time to research African lore and history. My mind runs with ideas though
The same way GRRM mashed together all of Europe's history, you could mash together Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Mali, The Moors and Hannibal/Carthage. I got ideas breh 
We just have to wait til the African movie industry matures to do *big budget* films..
Plenty of indie, art house, small screen Black films being made already, though.

There's still some black owned theaters out there. All you have to do is google to find a list breh.
which is why Kevin Hart deserves all the praise he's getting.
black movies with all black cast do well all the time
problem is sorry ass black people who sell themselves short because of lack of self worth

A few sparsely spread out here and there do not equal a black film industry able to make more than just romantic comedies or Madea movies.

I didn't say we had an independent black film industry. I said there are some black movie theaters out there.
