What next? Godzilla replace by a chicken?
The casting of a black actor to play the role of Roland 'The Gun Slinger' Deschain is an absoulute joke. Political correctness once again at its finest. Im all for equal rights and all that mindless babble people of this day and age seem to bang on about but this is absoulutley just pathetic.
Idris Elba is a great actor, I wont dispute that. My issue is not with Idris Elba, my issue lies with a white main character being replace by a black man? I mean for these deluded fools that argue "where does it say he's white" read the actual books correctly and pay attention. Blue bombadier eyes. White. WHITE.. not black? I Mean what an absoulute joke? Whats next? Is Susannah going to be chinese on crutches? Is Eddie Dean going to he homosexual? Is Jake going to be 30 years old?
All the comments stating directors etc have said they arent interested in the complaints of the loyal fans to this amazing story such as myself should be ashamed! I wont be paying a penny towards the box office earnings of this film and I hope it flops massively to prevent any more being produced.
Heres an idea why not make a movie about queen elizabeth and give the role to a muslim? Or how about we make a movie about mike tyson with a german woman starring as tyson himself? Replace the titanic itself with a jet ski instead of the boat itself?
However this has been allowed is an absoulute joke! Totally deystroying the masterpiece of a story.
Dont waste your time or effort with the boring old cards and labels you PC Do-Gooders throw around either the whole racism, sexism whatever else you want to throw in the mix its boring and ineffective.
I can only hope people avoid the film as to avoid any further slaughter of this work and stick to the original books.
