Agreed, though going by that video, it could still be a TV series.
Well of course! Audiences, being all-white themselves, can't relate to non-white actors. Also, this will need more sparkles.You know it is going to be whitewash all main character will be white.
I am even more worried that would happen if they do a film about Anansi Boys. Or even worse, us Mos Def as one of the brothers.You know it is going to be whitewash all main character will be white.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT, THEN?True story, though paraphrased:
Gaiman was actually approached by Hollywood about adapting Anansi Boys. But they had three things they wanted to change:
1) No mention of gods or deities.
2) It took place only in America.
3) The main characters must be white.
I read that on Gaiman's blog one time years ago.
Sounds like Nick's prom night.I am both excited and horrified.
