We should go back to just white males and females playing every role. And there is no representation for anyone. I'm sure everyone will be happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if people would stop to be face fucked with these issue that it would go back to that, because: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-diversity/diversity-on-screen-equals-bigger-box-office-bucks-study-finds-idUSKCN1GB2ST Maybe that study is not a good one (and simply compared the box office of the average movie with diversity vs none without correcting for budget, marketing, genre, etc...) but it does seem to have a strong incentive to make them. Like the president of Blumhouse said, lot of studio are not green lighted movies with diversity for some ethical/ideologue reason, but for financial reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Clown Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 https://deadline.com/2020/07/rub-and-tug-reconfigured-tv-series-scarlett-johansson-controversy-dante-tex-gill-new-regency-television-our-lady-j-write-pilot-trans-actor-playing-pittsburgh-massage-parlor-owner-1202990712/ Quote EXCLUSIVE: New Regency will redevelop Rub & Tug into a TV series, with the pilot to be written by Emmy-nominated writer/producer, Our Lady J. There is also a commitment to cast a trans actor to play the show’s lead role of Dante “Tex” Gill, the infamous transgender gangster who became an unlikely major figure in the criminal underworld of ’70s Pittsburgh. When Deadline first broke news that New Regency had won a script auction for Gill’s story with Scarlett Johansson attached to play Gill and Rupert Sanders directing, an outcry followed in the LGBTQ+ community, and the ensuing pressure prompted the exit of Johansson — who had previously been maligned for the Sanders-directed Japanese anime adaptation Ghost in the Shell. @Cap We love to see it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
