Casting a black man to play a norse god as black, makes as much sense as having Seinfeld play Mandela.

“I think we will see that and I think that’s good.’

Or not!

However, I am glad Idris has found work. he was great in Ultraviolet (not the movie, the series).

[2001convSVT]

By miss casting the title role the movie is sure to be a box office flop.

"I think that’s a sign of the times for the future"

At least he got that right.

Man is embracing himself as the ultimate source of all wisdom and goodness, and as such greater follies are certain.

[OpusatFR]

Ridiculous.

This is carrying PC way too far.

They always do this now... Look at the Perfect Storm movie... Where did the black guy come from, don’t remember him in the book. I call it the Lando Calrissian effect.

[MamaTexan]

Hollywood has bowed so low before the alter of political correctness, it can probably look up its own keister by now.

Pinging thee.

People sure do get their panties in a wad over the dumbest things.

..press conference for current film The Losers.

Funny, I thought of Losers myself.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

A black man as Heimdall is ok, but cast a white as Cleopatra and it’s the end of the world.

“Surt will be played by a Malaysian woman” ping.

[and Geri and Frekki will be recast as French Poodles]

[Migraine]

...makes as much sense as having Seinfeld play Mandela.

...or having Mel Gibson play Shaka Zulu...

If you know anything about the Nords,

'Scuse me, "the Nords"?

Maybe it's a planned anachronism. Lots of Africans live in Norway now.

"Casting a black man to play a norse god as black, makes as much sense as having Seinfeld play Mandela. "

True, except that would go against the politically correct aspect of the back-ass-wardness of the current age.

There would be outrage from those, such as the always fair minded NAACP, over the ridiculousness of such casting.

Not only is the United States racing to be an idiocracy, so is much of the world.

[CondiArmy]

I can’t wait for Kevin Spacey’s triumphant role as Martin Luther King!!

[WayneS]

"I think that’s a sign of the times for the future. I think we will see multi-level casting. I think we will see that and I think that’s good.

I can see it now:

Mel Gibson in "The Story of Jesse Jackson, Race Baiter"

Clint Eastwood as Uncle Remus in a remake of "Song of the South"

Russell Crowe in the lead role in a new "Malcolm X" movie.

and... Hillary Duff in "the Life and Death of Michael Jackson".

It'll be GREAT!!!

Blacks were Nordic Viking too? /s

The film capital of the world, Obamawood, will never stop stuffing all the PC and leftist garbage and distortions it can down the throats of movie goers.

The interesting part of this is that the industry can count on a certain percentage of the population to give of it's time and treasure to Obamawood no matter what.

The flickering screen has always had an historic and hypnotic hold on X numbers of the population....and it always will.

No matter what garbage and propaganda is ground out by the studios these days, they can always count on enough of a zombie paying audience that is evidently sustainable for the industry.

Untwist your panties and pull up your big boy pants. Kenneth Branagh’s “Much Ado About Nothing” had Denzel Washington playing the Italian Prince “Don Pedro” with Keanu Reeves as his brother. That was close to 15 years ago.

It’s no big deal.
