Re: WB "diverisity remakes"
Let's just take any old movie and put an actor of a different race in it. That's exactly what they're going to do, because it's also a lot easier to remake something than come up with anything new -- and then they'll toss it under the guise of "diversity" and "equity" and "inclusion".

The irony is that what they are doing is exactly the same as having Mickey Rooney play Mr. Yunioshi.

It's not "racist" to replace a character originally portrayed by a white person with a different ethnicity or gender, of course.Eric Paddon wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 7:08 pm The irony is that what they are doing is exactly the same as having Mickey Rooney play Mr. Yunioshi.
This is why no one could complain about Idris Elba as Roland Deschain in that Dark Tower movie (although the casting of Elba was the least of that awful movie's problems).
