>Hollywood's Casting Blitz: It's All About Diversity in the Wake of #OscarsSoWhite
https://archive.is/W0eJ8
Excerpts:
>Since the Oscar nominations were announced Jan. 14, a slew of diverse stories and color-blind castings have gained momentum.
>Newly announced projects include the young Barack Obama movie Barry and Disney's immigrant story Dr. Q.
>(Those come on the heels of the record-breaking $17.5 million Sundance deal for Nate Parker's slave drama The Birth of a Nation).
J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot has teamed with its agency, CAA, and studio partners to require that women and people of color are submitted for writing, directing and acting jobs
>in proportion to their representation in the U.S. population.
The Zero Dark Thirty team of Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal next will make a film set during
>the 1967 Detroit riot that will cast several actors of color.
And Fox 2000 and Chernin are developing Hidden Figures, a movie about the
>African-American women who helped NASA
launch its first space missions (Taraji P. Henson and Octavia Spencer recently were cast).
Black filmmaker Ava DuVernay (Selma) has signed on for two big studio projects during recent weeks: Disney's A Wrinkle in Time and Universal's sci-fi film Intelligent Life, starring Lupita Nyong'o. Life also is a big get for Oscar winner Nyong'o:
>Sources say the lead character in Life, with a script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly,
>was not written with a certain ethnicity in mind but rather a "unique" look.

Several other actors of color have nabbed high-profile roles in recent weeks:
>Idris Elba is in talks to star in Fox's romantic drama The Mountain Between Us in a lead role that
originally was written for a white actor (Charlie Hunnam was in talks at one point);
>Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda will star in
Disney's Mary Poppins sequel
>as a character similar to that played by Dick Van Dyke in the original;
>and Michael B. Jordan will star in MGM's
remake of The Thomas Crown Affair,
>playing a role previously inhabited by Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan.
MGM Motion Picture Group president Jonathan Glickman says the studio was looking to reteam with its Creed star.
>"We weren't thinking, 'What if we got someone who's African-American?' " he says.
>"We are gigantic fans of Michael. He's one of the most exciting, intelligent and charismatic actors working today.
The discussion of race never came up."
Do Americans actually think the world wouldn't be a better place without their garbage?

>young Barack Obama movie
So basically 'Boys in The Hood 2'
>>the 1967 Detroit riot that will cast several actors of color.
That was Detroit's beginning of the end!
The story will be portrayed as, whitey made burns dem buildings down and kill all dem people and sheeit!
>>66025110
>movies I'll never watch
>even for free
>>66025599
>So basically 'Boys in The Hood 2'
More like Dennis the Menace in Indonesia
>it's all about diversity
>only cast niggers
>>66025110
As long as it reflects the actual racial statistics, and not some kind of imagined rainbow filled with mythical law-abiding blacks, I'm OK.
>>66025110
In all seriousness, when will this diversity craze blow over? It's ridiculous.
GEE FUCK IT IS NOT LIKE THERE IS NOT SOME UNWRITTEN RULE THAT THERE MUST BE A BLACK PERSON IN EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF MEDIA THESE PAST DECADES
DO THESE PEOPLE NOT WATCH THE SAME THINGS AS NORMAL PEOPLE DO, BECAUSE IF THEY DID THEY WOULD KNOW YOU CANNOT WATCH ANYTHING WITHOUT A BLACK PERSON SHOWING UP
FUCK!
So the shakedown worked. Meanwhile films like Deadpool are breaking records.
>>66026377
AS LONG AS THERE ARE JEWS THERE WILL BE FORCED DIVERSITY!!! K.....
meanwhile no one cares about Hispanics and much less so Asians
>diversity
They are all niggers.
How upset are they going to be when no one goes and watches these movies?
>>66027568
Liberals don't like to bring up Asians because they destroy the narrative that minorities are all victims that can't score well on tests or make a lot of money because of da white man keeping them down.
>>66025110
>color-blind castings
>casting entirely based on skin color
>>66025110
It's not color blind if you are selecting based on race regardless of the race you are selecting

>>66028442
Fucking hell beat me to it by 1second
So by the looks of it we're going to see black male actors cast in romantic roles paired with white female actors. Looks like I won't be watching movies for a while then.
>>66025110
Hollywood sucks and so does everything they produce. #OscarsSoWhite is a vile scheme to pour more hatred on whites while advertising more of Hollywood's shitty media.
>>66025110
Blacks, whites, and asians are overrepresented in Hollywood. This hashtag was a pure PR stunt to promote black actors along the lines of BlackLivesMatter. It's just meta-marketing.
>>66025110
>in proportion to their representation in the U.S. population.
Now where have I heard that before? Oh: Numerus clausus in Hungary: Its aim was to restrict the number of Jews to 6%, which was their proportion in Hungary at that time; the rate of Jewish students was approximately 15% in the 1910s.

>Mfw niggers complain about there not being a token black in their reptilian awards show
>>66025110
That guy that directed Basquiat gave a camera to a Palestinian.
So justice, much virtue.
Turns out this particular Palestinian was a lazy teenager who did nothing at all with the camera and then demanded money because clearly this guy was gullible.
>>66025110
it's no good
Oprah already pisses away millions for all black movies and they all bombed.
>Hollywood has now made it easier for us to tell which movies we shouldn't watch
If it's a forced diversity movie it's going to be shit.
>>66028439
>>66028442
>>66028507
They only can't see white
>>66025110
>intelligent life
>starring African woman
kek almost as good as Mexican intellectuals
Does anyone still go to movies. . . . Right black people and their dates. I haven't seen anything that was improved by the big screen, most was ruined by the audience.
The diversity shit I'd just pandering to the consumer base like everything else.
>Disney's Mary Poppins sequel
What the fuck

>London 2016
Mary will have a Hijab and they'll be singing in Arabic
