Zoe Saldana’s ‘Nina’ Gets First Poster, More Online Backlash

[Dupac]

It dont even look as bad , as i thought...

what's up with the accent?

and is her face and neck two different colors?

that's how she talked....

plus people have to realize she's playing a 60 year old woman.........

I understand

I've watched documentaries and heard nina talk

with that said, zoe still sounds and looks nothing like nina in the previews

the black face is also offensive



and I refuse to believe she was the best actress for the job

this is just another example of film makers opting for the more palatable option

what's makes the casting even more shameful and somewhat ironic is that nina, growing up in the jim crow south, felt her dark skin, wide nose and big lips limited her opportunities ...which I'm sure it did

Mary J was up first, but she had scheduling conflicts....

smh....

lol stop

lol, man whatever, yall niggaz are hideous..

hating on this black woman because she's not "black enough" to play another black woman.....

this is the worse example of self hate i've ever witnessed in my entire life....smh.......

i hope she performs well, and it's a great movie......

but niggaz ain't never satisfied "yea it was good, but they still coulda found someone blacker"

that shit crazy as hell.....yall should be ashamed of yall selves...

 

[playmaker88]

Shes not even a great actress fam or a musician that even looks remotely similar and its about the lengths they had to go..Its not personal its just a bad casting choice.. This moving isnt going to make money so that excuse is bs.. Whoever was in charge of casting didnt look or try to look far thats pretty obvious..

 

[Dupac]

they had to make her look 60..

what the fuck yall expect???

mary j and zoe are the only blk actresses around? lol

I was willing to give her a chance, but this is embarrassing

besides the casting, the project is unauthorized, and the filmmakers never requested permission, nor invited the participation of her estate

then david oyelowo's character was in reality flamboyantly gay and her manager, however the film makers described the movie as being a love story between the two....really don't know what that means or what they are trying to suggest

 

[Dupac]

this is terrrible, they shoulda just found some old ass niggaz instead of using movie makeup to age them...

i mean who uses makeup to make up to age these days??

Terrible arguement and you know why

 

[Dupac]

look man she played different colored beings from other planets and sold that shit....... but playing a fellow black woman a few shades darker is out of the question???

what has the world come to?

zoe plays a blue chick....world loves it

zoe plays a green chick...world loves it

zoe plays a black woman....niggaz lose their fucking minds...

i swear this shit is hilarious

 

[playmaker88]

She doesnt have outwardly Negroid features Du! what better way to fight colorism than to get someone her damn color.. or end up her color..

Those chicks aint real Du.. she probably used more makeup and prosthetics to play the black woman lol

shit leslie jones would have been better.. she can play the hell out of crazy..

Zoe aint even in the right weight class i bet she wore Whoopi wear the whole time

 

[BlevlandBoyBool]

but she did marry a edomite

 

[kzzl]

unlike yall,

i'm hoping this black woman does a great job portraying this black icon, and wins a oscar next black history month for a trifecta of black excellence.......

#givezoeachance

C'mon, bruh. There had to be some kind of voice that went off in her head when they started putting that make up and nose on. That shit had to feel off in the back of her mind.

I bet she was extra nice to all the black people she was around. That "I'm guilty" kind of nice. Clinging to her dignity by a thread.

 

[Dupac]

Look at y'all.....

Don't make no sense.... Black history month is definitely over..... SMH
