Tom Hanks would of been great in the Jackie Robinson Story

Jackie Robinson was a real person. It's not the same thing.

It would be like casting Jackie Chan to play Scarface.

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

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.
I'd rather watch clint as harry forced out of retirement even at his age

I wouldn't want a black Rambo, just as much as I wouldn't want a white Blade.

It's not racist, it should be common sense not to fuck with established, iconic characters.

I thought Jet Li playing Jesus would be a good choice.

Also Jesse Eisenberg as Hitler.

Christoph Waltz as Phil Heath in Generation Iron 2

Now this is a story all about how Will's gonna play a tuff guy legend like a clown. I'd like to take a minute. Just sit right there. Does anyone think The Fresh Prince is an actor extraordinaire?

Well..I gave you guys the history lesson to show that its the way Hollywood operates.....unfortunate ly you guys are not levelheaded enough to get it and still want to rant

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2015, 08:21:21 AM »

Wills best role was 6 degrees of separation. But that is when I thought "wow, he plays a gay guy real convincingly" but now realize he played a gay guy so well because, well .....

My liege, that's Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Philip Hamilton, and Alexander Hamilton from Hamilton, a runaway Broadway smash.

Here's the father of our country:

I don't agree with the casting then........but Broadway is a bit different compared to Hollywood.

Besides, Jefferson was known to bang his slaves, and might have had some mixed children (in secret of course) so I find it ironic to say the least

That is exactly the reason why people get upset over terrible remakes and casting. Race is pivotal to most Iconic, fictional characters.

Once the lore is established, it is very hard to go against the grain after that. Imagine a black Jesus

hench · « **Reply #41 on:** August 31, 2015, 08:32:27 AM »

But no ones interested in remakes either, total recall bombed, lost all the qualities of the original, same as conan the barbarian. Red Dawn was crap too with todays actors.
Upcoming point break will just be another modern action film with familiar names but no chemistry between the characters, this is mostly the problem, the originals have charm and personality that can't be replicated.

Will Smith is not pretend. He is an actual black person and an actor who PLAYS fictional characters.

Fuck.
