Well played!

Why didn’t they just hire Karrine-Jean Pierre? She looks the same and would probably work cheaper. She’s not busy since Biden left.

In any case, this film is a no go for me. Not a dime!

I wonder what the Left and Hollyweird would do if someone cast Chris Helmsworth as Shaka Zulu? Leonardo di Caprio as Frederrick Douglas? Brad Pit as Kunte Kinte?

Douglas MacArthur played by a black actress?

That’s your comparison?

The silliness here is amazing

The Devil Wears Prada has brought in 433 mil so far. There is no way Nolan’s odyssey doesn’t do as well as that

Everyone said: “Heath Ledger as the Joker is stupid. What is Nolan thinking”

I suggest keeping that in mind

See my post 62.....none of those were real people either but hollywood made damned sure they were black on the big screen.

THAT, is my point.

Don't look now but.... as Breitbart News reported, a recent rumor is that transgender actor Elliot Page — formerly Ellen — will play Achilles in Nolan’s upcoming film.

Not. Kidding.

I said ACTOR not actress. Tradition.

When the credits roll at the end of this attocity:

“Casting by F. Ing Moron”

Now, how about Black actor as George Armstrong Custer? Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Oppenheimer in many ways was a jerk! Pompous and arrogant and oh so sure of himself. Is it believable that he was not a communist when his brother, the people\students the socialized with, his wife and girl friend were? There was a scene in the TV series (I think!) where his wife is being interviewed either by Army CI\FBI. The agent\officer asked why she and Oppenheimer’s brother were Communists. Her answer was something like because of the Depression and Hitler all the moral upstanding people they knew were. Implying if you weren’t you were either immoral or too stupid to understand. Typical leftist elitist view that they could run things for the “little people” and create utopia. (Same attitude they have today!) Rand who had to flee such thinking, I’m sure saw right through him. Oppenheimer was lucky he had Groves to protect him.

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 American comedy-drama film and 2003 novel about a young assistant navigating a demanding, high-fashion job under a ruthless editor. Starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, it explores themes of ambition and sacrifice in the fashion industry.
What exactly does that have to do with virtue signaling inauthentic casting which is the issue? Think the recent Snow White (2025) Wuthering Heights (2026)

She could get a steady gig in tv commercials and be paired with any white man and tan kids.

That’s wht I donate to this site. Because I ha e waiting waiting all day to hear this kind of news.

I see this kind of news as extremely relevant. It exposes the level of psy-ops that we are exposed to daily. It highlights the obvious attempts at the destruction of Western culture through these ridiculous humiliation rituals.

How? By calling attention to the extremely obvious lies and subversion of our cultural works. From the Odyssey, we know two things about Helen of Troy: she's the most beautiful woman in the world, and she's GREEK. Nyong'o, while not entirely unattractive, is neither of those things. This movie will go hand-in-hand with the recent Netflix documentary on Cleopatra where that Macedonian woman was portrayed as black, and the narrative of the "documentary" was that her traditional portrayal as white was due to racism.

Those who run Hollywood as well as well as most other cultural influences will not stop until they have eliminated European-descended people and erased their history.

That might actually be interesting. I'd cast John David Washington, who was in Nolan's Tenet.

Just the other day the infamous Critical Drinker had 6 minutes video that he had bad feeling about this movie. That I was planning to see in theaters. Lupita whatever was not mentioned. What a farce.

The movie will fail spectacularly.
Perhaps the biggest bust in Hollywood history.
It cost $250 million to produce.
It will be lucky to get $100 million in sales.
_______

I was looking forward to it. But now it is cancelled! I will see the good parts on Netflix or whatever someday.
Release date
July 17, 2026<<<<< CANCELLED!

In the Tower of London large as life
The Ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare
Poor Anne Boleyn was once King Henry’s wife
Until he made the headsman bob her hair!
Ah, yes, he did her wrong, long years ago
And she comes up at night to tell him so!

[Chorus]
With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour
She comes to haunt King Henry
She means giving him ‘what for’
Gadzooks! She’s going to tell him off
For having spilt her gore
And, just in case the headsman
Wants to give her an encore
She has her head tucked underneath her arm
