What's next? A black Nick Fury? A black James bond? A black Spiderman?
WIll Smith is a funny actor with his Wingnut-ears but he should NOT be playing Dirty Harry!
Talk about ruining the legacy"
Next we'll be seeing a black Johnny Storm or Starsky and Hutch!
Instead of going on one of your tired racial rants, the son of the Director who made Dirty Harry and owns a piece of it said HE wanted Will Smith...he has a right to cast who HE thinks is good for the part, not what YOU want...
Do you go to sleep at night thinking there are black people under your bed???
What's next? A black Nick Fury? A black James bond? A black Spiderman?
Miles cooler than Peter

I have no issue with this. It's not like his race is pivotal to the character. Will Smith is a decent actor.
I will say, I don't like it when they have black people play characters that are ethnically white, like Thor for instance. That would be like a white dude playing someone like Zulu.
Has nothing to do with race it's about changing a established concept, like casting Britney Speas to play Gandalf. Understand?Sure its about race. Will Smith is a good actor, and a solid box office draw, but people relate to Dirty Harry as Clint Eastwood (who is a white man)
That new NWA-movieIts not the same Kwon. You really can't get away with doing that with real people and historical figures.
Dr Dre - Danny DeVito
Ice Cube - Woody Allen
Eazy E - Will Farrell
---
etc etc
Malcolm X, played by Hugh Grant
Shaka Zulu, played by Jimmy Fallon
etc etc
Same thing!
Hope you Black folks understand how this is perceived now.
I'm with you, King Shizzo, but..Was one of them supposed to be Washington? I see what appears to be 2 black guys, 1 white guy, and maybe the dude with the goatee is Hispanic ???

Tom Hanks would of been great in the Jackie Robinson StoryJackie Robinson was a real person. It's not the same thing.
Fictional charactersYes, Kwon gets it. ;D
Gandalf - Kenan Thompson
Mohammed - Michelle McCarthy
Superman - Kevin Hart
Tintin and Captain Haddock - Tyler Perry and Terry Crews
Alice in Wonderland (reboot) - Nikki Minaj
Highlander Connor McLeod - Eddie Murphy
Zeb Macahan (HTWWW reboot) - Don Cheadle
Zorro (Legend of Zorro III) - Forrest Whittaker
clint is one of those actors that has a charisma that can't be replaced, like arnold and sly. This will just feel like bad boys 3 without martin lawrence but he'll have to say clints famous lines which will just come across cringeworthy, similar to that rampage geezer trying to copy mr t saying "i pity the fool" in the A-team movie. It's just forced and lazy.Agreed...but thats for OUR genertation....today's moviegoers don't give a hell about Clint or Arnold....its about casting actors who...you know...MAKE MONEY
I'd rather watch clint as harry forced out of retirement even at his age
There is nothing wrong with casting black actors or other actors of other ethnicities if the race is not pivotal to the character....since a lot of white guys here aren't good at history we forget that for many years WHITE ACTORS portrayed black people (in blackface)....portrayed indians (using red makeup) and portrayed chinese and japanese people by using makeup to slant their eyes.....WHITE ACTORS always portrayed others outside their race.....remember the old Charlie Chan movies???...that was a white actor with slanted eyes playing the role...so whats the PROBLEM NOW>>>>>????????????????
you guys are so hysterical
Agreed...but thats for OUR genertation....today's moviegoers don't give a hell about Clint or Arnold....its about casting actors who...you know...MAKE MONEYI wouldn't want a black Rambo, just as much as I wouldn't want a white Blade.
Agree, andre, but now they wanna reboot Jaws with an African Manatee. Where does it end, right?
"Dusky" Hakeem Cunningham is a bad man.
My liege, that's Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Philip Hamilton, and Alexander Hamilton from Hamilton, a runaway Broadway smash.I don't agree with the casting then........but Broadway is a bit different compared to Hollywood.
Here's the father of our country:

Once the lore is established, it is very hard to go against the grain after that. Imagine a black Jesus ::)
you mixing up HISTORICAL characters with fictional characters....
you mixing up HISTORICAL characters with fictional characters....no one is saying that Jesus should be black..that would be ludicrous...BUT if Dirty Harry is black, then who cares>????....the movie is not aimed at you otr me anyway..its aimed at young Urban adults and Hipsters...we can still treasure OUR Dirty Harry....
bunch of serious crybabies in this thread

Good call. Denzel is M-O-T because, at least, he is half-HWhite.

The Rock would've been a better choice.
i thought Dirty Harry hated black people
Hugh Jackman or a slimmed down russell crowe was the right choice.Tom Hardy too
Leave it the fuck alone would be more right.
Leave it the fuck alone would be more right.This, obviously... It's not a matter of "racism", just that certain things should be left alone, Harry Callahan is Clint Eastwood, period... Idris Elba for a James Bond? No problem, good actor with the right look...
He is still addressing fictional characters.

what really saddens me about this is Hollywood is fresh out of ideas....why don't the Jews who run Hollywood put all their minds and money together and come up with some fresh ideas for movies instead of ruining classics by re-making them????

Gigantic Dirty Harry fan. Own all the movies.
This is a pure shit decision, if true.
Not to mention, in 2015, the PC intensity is at such an all-time high, that so much of what makes Dirty Harry Harry won't fly with the young offended-at-everything crowd. Harry is nothing if not politically INCORRECT.

Kwon was making it about race, as he does with everything lol.(http://99gifs.com/-img/520bce2aafa96f0724004aff.gif?w=400&h=317)
What Harry did back then won't be as appreciated in today's liberal PC society :D
James Bond gone through a change to "adapt" to the current state of affairs, and so will probably Harry.
It won't be Dirty Harry (as we know him) anymore.
Agree, andre, but now they wanna reboot Jaws with an African manatee. Where does it end, right?
QFT i was watching james bond with sean connery in it. way more of a pimp than that blonde twink daniel graig.
dont be surprised if dirty harry becomes domestic harry who is gay with 2 kids

That is absolutely ridiculous.will smith couldnt play a badass,its just not believable.

Why make it a Dirty Harry movie? Nobody under 40 knows those movies. Just make it a Will Smith movie about a "tough as nails, plays by his own rules" street cop. I'd watch that.
The Dirty Harry movies were unique in that they were a conservative statement to the hippie generation. It's why Clint insisted on the movie setting being in San Francisco. I'm not saying Will couldn't do the role its just that those movies 'time box' a piece of America. Times have changed and unless Will really pushed against the PC leftist agenda that dominates American media culture it just won't have the same impact. To me Will won't do that because he's a product of the generation.
Instead of Dirty Harry maybe they'll call it Filthy Andre ;D

Agreed +2
Hugh Jackmans resemblance to clint when the first x-men movie hit in 2000 was quite remarkable. Obviously hugh wasnt even made up to look like clint but the comparrisons started .
If they were to recast he'd be the one imo.
QFT i was watching james bond with sean connery in it. way more of a pimp than that blonde twink daniel graig.I think that Daniel Craig's James Bond is to combat the Jason Bourne image.

Lol, you could never take a black seriously in this sorta role. I like Will but this is ridiculous and sorta funny in a retarded way
who cares. People need to prove to Hollywood that we don't want this shit by not going and allowing the movie to bomb in the theater. Sadly the lemmings will go and pay and Jew execs will pat each other on the back for a job well done.
This has been repeated for ages, and since this formula still never fails, it will keep on continuing.
People eat up all this reboot-crap they spew to the public.
Oh how they easily can manipulate some people.
The worst example was the black karate kid reboot. It made something like $50-60 million on opening weekend and $170 million overall domestically.

actually that movie was done pretty well and was entertaining....I know you have a mental illness but try your best to look beyond your anti-black mind
It might have been but why call it Karate Kid? especially in the fact he was learning Kung Fu.
Merely because of the franchise-name and that they knew how much audiencesheepit would bring.
