Look Exodus and Noah will still be banned in Egypt and all Muslim countries even if the president of the country acted in them. The same with all the Jesus films, all these figures are prophets of Islam and you can go to jail if you try to portay or give face to them ( or you can die... ). Some things are facts, any color you give to Noah European,Black or Japanese it's the same for them. Sometimes it's good to know what you talk about. Also every American movie that comes to Middle East and North Africa is really really cut. I know a person who used to do this job ( they do this in Europe) and they cut every single kiss,word, affection that doesn't fit their ethics e.t.c
Current Egyptians wouldn't find accurate a whole black cast either.....but what i am sure about is that current Egyptians actors have much more problems than an American movie.. there are Egyptians actors who can't act in any movie because of the political beliefs, if an actor doesn't support the government, he/she gets banned from every work in Egypt.
I have no idea how they will treat this movie, there was an advertisment on MBC4 (which is the biggest network for Arab countries) but i am not sure the word God will make a pass...
Europe and everywhere else doesn't have the race issue Americans have. The one in three words about a movie is what color or gender the actors are.
I thought this movie was fun, but i will not even give it a chance now, all this drama is too much.
I can't wait for it to flop so people can stop talking about it...
