Brad Pitt's company is making the film, so I guess he wanted to keep it it in the family.

These people need to stop their damned whining.

I am afraid that Pitt and Jolie are going to "whitewash" the Pearl murder which was done by jihadists because Pearl was Jewish.

I can think of no single issue of greater importance than what color one's skin is. I thank blacklooks.org for bringing this to the forefront. A much higher calling than what blacklooks.com and blacklooks.net pursued.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

But, but.. CAIR is SO going to write a fax about this, I tell ya.. Where's the evidence that Pearl's head was cut off?
And why would a liberal bring up one of the not so nice habits of their pet Islamofacists?

Mariane Pearl is one eighth African, three-eighths Spanish and half Dutch.
Whom did they think should play her? Angela Bassett? Naomi Campbell?

As an earlier poster remarked, it is more likely Brangelina will "whitewash" the murder of Daniel Pearl.

The thing of it is, this is a story about a real person. It is going to be very distracting to watch the movie with Jolie in blackface (beigeface?), and IMO it will take away from the movie, versus hiring someone like Halle Berry who could legitimately be made like Marianne Pearl.

Halle Berry would have worked.

Momma used to take me to Audubon Park
Show me the ways of the world
She said, here comes a white boy, there goes a black one,
that one's an octoroon
This little cookie here's a macaroon,
that big round thing's a red balloon
And the paper down here's called the Picayune

Halle Berry would be my first casting choice for Queen Elizabeth of England, Joan Of Arc, Florence Nightingale or any other movie you like.

To: wideawake
Mariane looks a little like Jennifer Lopez. Halle Berry and Adrian Brody would have been better in these roles than Brangelina.

Halle Berry would have worked. Sure, but if your girlfriend is a biggest box office draw, why spend outside the 'family'? It makes no economic sense when Angelina can fit the role just fine.
To: Cecily
I wonder if blacklooks.org would have complained if J-Lo had gotten the role?

What freakin whining racists. If Eli Wallach can play a mezcan bandito, Angelina can play a sistah.
