I guess they couldn't find any tall, blonde, white actors to play a tall, blonde, white character.

Another group of idiots already made Johnny Storm black while Sue remained white. They don't give a shit anymore. If they ever get (the racist) Bloodsport in a movie, he might be black.

I was already never going to watch it so why not a mexican woman instead? Well the full cast has almost every poc covered. It looks like it is about wesker and his children. The rest of the main cast are all women. Why no fat people tho? I hope james cordon is a fat zombie at least? I'm guessing the black lady will be Jill? --- You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P ...

Spotted someone on the twert saying how Wesker's goal of reaching a state of perfection has Nazi and racial allegory to it, but eh that's kinda thin. Umbrella was created by a eugenics cult, and Wesker was created and designed by them to be the perfect human. I'm not sure it's that thin. It feels like it's probably a dangerous path to tread, even if they ignore all of this. We'll see how it goes, I liked him on Fringe. --- pastaman44 - I can't think of anything to say.

Also, I dont mind the race change at all, but I don't think Reddick is a good pick for Wesker. Maybe I'll be proven wrong because I do love Reddick
