Sounds like the plot of a Kevin Spacey and Frank Whaley movie.

The way to get a good superhero movie out of Snyder, is have someone write a fantastic comic novella then have Snyder shoot exactly that. His original ideas suck, but he does a decent job of putting someone else's original idea on screen.

It's tough for a director to keep the fright level high while also hinting to the audience that he actually faked the moon landing on a set outside of Tucson.

I'd be happier if it shaves another million plus off of BvS's DOM total lead.

So is it safe to say that Zootopia will end up out grossing BvS on the DOM front?

I know, but I was just pointing out the common thread at least in audience makeup between the two films as at least a partial explanation for both films success.

This can only mean that a Manimal movie is just around the corner.

I can think of one other low budget film that had a similar insanely long run and legs, Dirty Dancing. It seems both films struck a chord with post teenage women.

To be fair that complaint wasn't about Saldana's race so much as her appearance and that's a biopic not a work of pure fiction. A darker skinned mixed-race Hispanic actress who looked more like Simone would seem to pass muster with the daughter.

Would there be all this hullabaloo if Zoe Saldana was the lead?

Will you raise just as big a stink if Idra Elbas plays Roland Deschain in the Dark Tower movies? Because at least according to the books Roland is definitely white. BTW at least based on that picture of the main character she looks hafu at best regardless of her name.

First off look at what I was responding to, a claim that the James Cameron brand was bigger than Star Wars, it aint no director is not even Spielberg. The fact of the matter is that Avatar for all the money it made was no where near the cultural phenomenon that ANH was. The major reason for this and why no movie may ever carry the widespread and deeply felt impact that Star Wars does is pretty much the first thing you see "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" this moves the classic hero with 1,000 faces from the realm of the impossible that the old myths of Hercules, King Arthur, Gilgamesh etc etc reside in, to the realm of the possible by taking it out of our own world or even galaxy. It allows us to drop some of our skepticism and at some level view it through a similar lens as our ancestors viewed the old myths. Avatar is a great in theater experience in fact more than any film it has to be seen in the theater to be fully appreciated, this however is also why it doesn't carry the same cultural weight as even other Cameron films like Titanic and T1 & 2, because unlike those films and Star Wars I cannot come close to replicating the in theater experience in my living room with Avatar and this explains why for all the money it made the impact of Avatar recedes more over time than most other major blockbusters, the gulf between the in theater and at home experience is just too pronounced.
