Normally I would have the same reaction as you guys at Lawrence remake. But ever since that scene in Prometheus I am super interested to know what Ridley Scott's Fassbender of Arabia would look like.

He will CGI everything up the ass.

 

[Ties]

You wrote a bunch of thing saying whats right thing to do. I knew that. I am not even white. What I said was it (brown lead in $200 mil movie) is not commecially viable, or have not proven commercial viable. Watch what I said.

Maybe I looked too much into what you've said.

Apologies for the digression .

Don't the Madea movies do well? I know it's the the *shining* example of minority representation in films, but it's something.

It would be a piece of garbage. All Prometheus showed us is that fassbender looks like a good Lawrence, that's about it

Also this movie is gonna suck too.

This movie will be um.. Interesting lol. Other pics circling around. Sets look like they might good at least

Because Ridly Scott is saving Fassbender for Lawrence of Arabia remake.

I would pay $100 to watch it. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Wait, so Hollywood could make a movie where the whitest of mighty whites came to save the brownface people... and it make sense in the contest?
Bible Belt would go nuclear.

So is it not morally objectionable that casters for these types of films go through leaps and bounds to cast someone White in a role that caters to an up and coming minority actor?

The American audience, while majority White, still has minorities that populate the nation. Minorities have no problems identifying with the plethora of White leads in blockbusters and television shows, so I don't know why the same cannot be done for the White demographic.

And simply because something is so does not make it alright. Casting more minorities in roles would be beneficial in providing avenues for minorities to be a part of the entertainment industry and exposing different ethnicities to more rural areas in America.

Nailed it. We should discuss about this instead of hypotetical Fassbender roles.

It's a true story though.

 

[Timbuktu]

What, you expect actual Middle Eastern or Arabic actors in a film taking place in Egypt? The fuck's wrong with you; you'll never be a Hollywood executive!

Weird because I thought KoH had great casting of minorities. I want to see that Saladin actor again, he was fantastic. Then again KoH didn't do very well did it, must be because of the casting.

If it doesn't turn out that Moses is Akhenaten or his high priest in exile, then I'll be disappointed! I hope Scott touches on the mysterious influences of Egyptian religion (Amen, Moses being an Egyptian word meaning "from God", such as Thutmose/Amenmose/Ramose, and the reason there is no god-name before "moses" is because god's name in the hebrew religion is not to be uttered), have the staff be a former priest or pharao staff, etc. Hellenistic writings mention a renegade Egyptian priest who leads an army of lepers against the pharaoh and is finally expelled from Egypt, changing his name to Moses. There's a lot which could be used to make the history less of a remake.

 

[Jenov]

oh yeah right, forgot about that

though there was that one time

Best satan EVER

 

[titusandronicus]

So which do you think will be better? Exodus or Noah?

 

[RustyNails]

NOAH. Hands down.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Exodus.

 

[?oe?oe]

[nomis]

Best satan EVER

You rang?

Spoiler

Peter Stormare's design was pretty sick though... the tattoos and the oil on the feet was inspired.

 

[Chinner]

i hope this is as good as prometheus and lives up to the hype!

 

[watershed]

This movie is giving me some serious "Robin Hood" vibes.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

We should be seeing the trailer for this pretty soon.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cineeurope-first-footage-ridley-scotts-712586

Barcelona — Fox pulled out all the stops at its annual CineEurope presentation on Tuesday, revealing the first footage from Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings, starring Christian Bale as Moses. In addition to screening the opening reel of the biblical epic, the studio provided foreign theater owners with an early look at the movie's upcoming trailer.

 

[Dead]

I want Ridely to throw in a tie in hook to Prometheus. Do it

Do it

 

[strafer]

Jesus Bale is real

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I love Ridley Scott's directing style. Can't wait for this.

 

[RustyNails]

Wait, a trailer already? where is the poster?

 

[Chuck]

It's a shame Ridley's lost it so much. I fully expect this to disappoint anyone who's excited for it, like his last few films.

Wow that's really fucking trash.

Can't wait for the ensuing shitstorm around brownface.

I wanna see this shit already.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

HAHAHAHA

fucking DUMB

 

[TheContact]

Prediction: This is going to be epic

 

[obin_gam]

dont know what to say...

 

[angular graphics]

The sword looks distractingly gold but other than that it looks good to me.

 

[aerts1js]

Bale is better than Cruise though. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

gotta disagree with this.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

can't wait to see the trailer.

But isnt the hat he wears too small for his head though?

Nope.

 

[JB1981]

The Counselor is excellent.

It's weird the movie is pretentious as hell but it dat ending had a big impact on me. Disturbing movie!

The trailer will be 45 seconds of logos, followed by a woman wailing on the soundtrack doing her best Lisa Gerard impression. Then we will get a flash "from the director of Gladiator", quick cuts of Bale in close-up and maybe a few snippets of battle scenes or scenes of AMAZING SCALE and then "coming this fall" fade to black.

 

[jett]

dont know what to say...

I have no idea what is going on with this movie. Why is Moses in battle armor?
