antovolk Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Alex Proyas: “The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables, but it is clear that our casting choices should have been more diverse. I sincerely apologize to those who are offended by the decisions we made.” Lionsgate: ”We recognize that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods portrayed. In this instance we failed to live up to our own standards of sensitivity and diversity, for which we sincerely apologize. Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, can and will continue to do better.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/11/27/exclusive-lionsgate-responds-to-gods-of-egypt-whitewashing-controversy/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 300 is just ok. But Clash of the Titans and Exodus were both terrible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Hilarious seeing the trailer for the first time before Creed. From the director of the great Dark City....GOOD LORD. Not to belittle anybody's opinion but anybody who says "hey, this looks okay!" deserves to be ignored.
