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???
How about Taylor Swift as Billie Holiday in the remake of “Lady Sings The Blues”.
—
In keeping with the post - how about Taylor Swift as Louis Armstrong in concert with Ella Fitzgerald played by some tranny actor?
Hel….sinki?
There ya go. Jackie Mason as an Ammonite king.
Would have been funny if she planned Anne of Cleves. Thomas Cromwell arranged the marriage between Henry and Anne and when she arrived Henry took one look and politely excused himself to go chew out Cromwell.
Everyone knows Mozart was black. So was Beethoven, Bach and Julius Caesar.
A gay actor played Mozart last time. Also the priest. Now go all the way and make Mozart openly gay and replace Constanze with a gay lover. Heck just make Salieri gay too with a lot of gay tension between Salieri and Mozart ( Salieri to Mozart: “I can’t quit you” ).
Since the movie wasn’t meant to be historically accurate the director and producers have a lot of creative freedom.
Yep. Just perfect - in upside-down Libtard land.
As bad as blue-eyed Irishman Chuck Connors playing Chief Geronimo.
Don’t forget to cast a white actor as Shaka Zulu and Malcolm X.
Yes it is, a tremendous hidden gem.
Mao-zart
Samuel L. Jackson as Snow White.
Not the Bee?
Remember John Wayne as Attila? heh
“Saddre up pirgrims, we ‘re burning dayright. And don’t call me Hun.”
Or was he Genghis Khan. Who cares, he would strike you if you brought it up.
Close but no cigar for you! "The Mask of Fu Manchu" (1932). He WAS in "Charlie Chan at the Opera" (1936), but as the villain to Warner Oland's Chan.
But your memory is not failing. Karloff made a few movies as Chinese detective Mr. Wong - Monogram Pictures cash-in on the popularity of Chan and Mister Moto (Peter Lorre). He made three of them because
Just two Wongs don't make a white...like him outsell those other guys.
(Tough audience; they think I need shoes and vegetables)
I just remembered him being unreasonably tall to play a chinaman.
"We'll play up the skirt angle and make him fabulous!"
Aaargh!
I bet they're waiting for Clint to die so they can desecrate Josey Wales and Dirty Harry as well.
The one in 1985 was awful
Regietheater.
It would be akin to a certain NASCAR superstar to play one of the Seven Samurai.
Wake me up when the black Beethoven movie comes out.
