It’s quite sad to see that the studios won’t pay writers for scripts with new material but instead rehash movies that were already done. The studios really have nothing to offer.

“Two notable departures from Verne’s original 1872 text sees Passepartout, Fogg’s loyal valet, played by a black actor...”

They couldn’t resist making the servant a black man. Racist bastards.

They ruin everything they touch. Face it, liberals are unimaginative losers.

It is all they know. Hollyweird died decades ago. At least 2000/05. Probably earlier.

Will the princess be a transvestite?

Will Tatoo be a BLM supporter?

Will the elephants be homosexual?

I’ve seen women and blacks added to old movies in small parts but the MAIN CHARACTERS were as the author wrote them.

No longer. Anyone seen the new remakes of the “woke” Ben Hur or The Magnificent Seven?

They hit the theaters and disappeared so fast they did not even leave a shadow non the screen.

The topper for me was the new British telling of the Anne Boleyn story, where both King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn are black.

I guess because I am white and these historical figures were white, we are not allowed to cry cultural appropriation!

This is not a work of fiction. This is an historical event with historical figures, who have had oil paintings made of them when they were living. They were not black!

Not a surprise with the BBC. We were watching a British show, and in the first 15 minutes…all the boxes were checked:
-Evil white male commander
-Non-evil woman of color as his deputy
-Female detective lead…who has a gay lover

It’s utterly disgusting these days, when you can’t get a normal shoe to watch. We grab books and play games instead of watching trash now.

Actually, they should have made Fogg a woman.

Reporter Nellie Bly actually did a similar trip and wrote a book about it...
