Remake of cinematic masterpiece “Amadeus” to feature Asian Mozart
Not The Bee ^ | October 15, 2025 | Holly Ash

Yep.

Official 'TEASER' at link.............

Amadeus, the 1985 Milos Forman- directed masterpiece, is being remade.

They replaced the inimitable Tom Hulce with a half-Japanese British citizen name Will Sharpe, because that totally makes sense for the Austrian Mozart?

Meanwhile, F. Murray Abraham's Salieri is being replicated by that robot guy in the Avengers movies.

I'm sure this will turn out great! Here's just a few of the reactions:

Just ... why???

I'm waiting for repop of Superfly starring a white Ammonite.

And I don't even know what an Ammonite is.

I just came off other threads attacked for being unhappy with Mel Gibson’s casting of Nordic/Scandinavian actor to play Jesus in his Passion sequels. Double standards much?

I am certain that they could not remake Amadeus and have it be better than the original.

Who in their right mind would front money for what will certainly be a disaster ?

P.S. The Red Violin is also a great classical music movie,

but The Piano Teacher has scarred me for life

I’m not going to clutch pearls over this. A white man can play a black man, an Asian can play a European. It’s called ACTING. They are playing someone who is not them.

Yes, there were a lot of Asian, black, and Native Americans living in Europe in the later Middle Ages, specifically because of mass air travel.

I’m more offended that we have yet another remake. Stop with the remakes and reboots. Do something original

Most folks who believe in western civilization think pushing back on culture assaults matters

Oh. Maybe I meant Mennonite. I have no idea what I’m saying. Too many Tito’s and crans.
