Usually when they make a white character brown you have to concede that "They don't NEED to be white! It isn't important to the story!" That's usually true even though I don't find it a compelling reason to make them black.

FYI, did you gents hear about Preacher? They actually did a casting call for a black woman to play the white woman character. It wasn't just that "she was the best person for the job."
Hell, I didn't even know that bird was mixed-race.

But here in Dark Tower we have two reasons why Roland should be black.

Susannah's alternate personality hating whitey.

Stephen King resembling Roland being a plot point.

But you know I'd have been less annoyed if they dug up some guy that was like the black equivalent of Clint Eastwood. Elba DOES NOT looking like a hard-bitten gunslinger described as "long, tall and ugly."

I think Idris will be fine. Skin colour aside, he's well suited for the role. They can CG in Rolands blue eyes or something.

However, what's annoying me is that in every image coming out of the film he has no hat.
>>

In what way? Being a decent actor?

Not even the most well-suited from The Wire's cast.
Someone can probably even top this, I can't remember who all is in that show.
I think maybe you're afraid people will call you a racist.

Yes. After watching Luthor, I'm quite confident Idris has what it takes to fill the role quite comfortably.

They might have made Roland black so they can make Susannah white.

So instead of "muhfuggin whitey" they have a white girl doing a redneck "fuckin NIGGERS" thing.

In the age if mulatto SJWs they'd probably be scared to have a character that is a crazy rich black girl that pretends to be a thug nigga.

But that's in the book though. Haven't read that book in decades, i think, but i"m sure that happened. Stephen King was always a fucking leftie.

I really wanted them to make a more faithful adaptation. I got really into the books as a teen. They're probably just going to cut all the insanity that made the later books such fun trainwrecks.

Are you clinically retarded?

You're okay with giving a character based on Clint Eastwood to a nigger because they can make his eyes blue?
>>

This guy can literally only play this one role. I know because he was just Omar again Boardwalk Empire and everything else he's been in.
>>
>>71628589
I'm not a fan of re-racing a character just for the sake of diversity/retarded undeserved guilt, but usually I couldn't care less.

However, making Roland black just cuts so much away from the original. So what, crazy detta walker trying to kill white Roland isn't going to happen? The best parts of her backstory now have almost no relevance regarding Roland . It's sacrificing so much in terms of the original story in order to gain nothing really important.

As an avid reader of his books over the years and a Dark Tower fan, this is an insult.
There is no rationalising or excuses to be made as far as I'm concerned, I had to break this news to family members who love the Dark Tower books and felt like shit having to tell them King is a sellout.

Oh crap I realised this isn't the black man Roland thread.
