Would you be fine with an adaptation for a Korean story having a diverse cast of actors but not Korean actors? Because that's largely the same scenario. Oldboy? And that was shit and nowhere near close to the original. I did mean something more entrenched in their mythology though, should have specified that. Chicken posted...

Would you be fine with an adaptation for a Korean story having a diverse cast of actors but not Korean actors? Because that's largely the same scenario. The point of acting is to be someone that you arent. Were you upset that Frodo wasnt played by a real Hobbit? Are you okay with The Last Airbender's casting? Being gay or being a fantasy creature isn't something tied to ethnicity. Playing a ethnic Polish character kinda is. And when it's a discriminated group being looked over yet again in a story with roots in their own folkore, it kinda sucks. It's the fact that nowadays even someone like Witold Pilecki wouldn't be cast as a Pole in a Hollywood nowadays. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan <cite>The_Ivory_Man posted [p:911567013] in There will...
