Inspired by this quote: “Imagine a film such as Inception with an entire cast of black people – do you think it would be successful? Would people watch it? But no one questions the fact that everyone’s white. That’s what we have to change.” - Idris Elba

Inception recast → Idris Elba as Cobb, Richard Ayoade as Arthur, Anthony Mackie as Robert Fischer, Zoe Saldana as Ariadne, Jamie Foxx as Eames, Kerry Washington as Mal, Forest Whitaker as Yusuf, Michael K. Williams as Saito, Jeffrey Wright as Browning, Danny Glover as Maurice Fischer, and Gina Torres as Miles

I see 3 people on here that aren't black..

 
would be cool to see but.. would it be as critically acclaimed or commercially successful doubt it.. shit it might be straight to dvd
 
I believe the larger question is why is whiteness so normalized? Why are we still at this juncture? When a movie casts all white people it doesn't raise an eye brow it is considered "for general audiences" why though? White people aren't a majority of the world's population and if you include over seas markets arent even the majority of movie industry consumers.

However any movie that casts an all Black or an all Latino or all Asian cast is deemed as niche as if somehow the only people on earth that are universally relatable are white folks?

Universal appeal is the term they use!

Welcome back
 
You can say that about any great film though. If it ain't about slavery or some other destitute story, will never if rarely see a big budget a

Zoe saldana is half Dominican and half puerto rican if I recall.

Word black people cant be from the Caribbean

lol Do people really not understand the difference between Black and African American? If you going to exclude Zoe because she's from the Carribbean, you might as well exclude Idris since he's from England.

 
Its like Marvel is takin forever to make a Black Panther movie. Showin an advanced civilization of untouchable Black folk is too much for white folk to handle.
