and i still don't get how "looking like" someone is the only reason you should be cast as them.....

Saldana is a meh actress combined with the fact that she kinda acts like Stacy Dash and Ravon Symone's slightly smarter yet still dumb sibling.

This makes Black folks not want her to play a role which depicts her as a woman a strong Black woman's who was not shy about addressing the struggle of Blacks during her heyday.

Kinda like getting Kevin Hart to portray Michael Jordan in a movie that ain't his lane nor would it work.

why not give her a chance at it though..

i mean listen to her.....either she really cares about this shit.....or she's a better actress than yall giving her credit for....cuz i was feeling the passion in this interview....


#givezoeachance


Damn bruh, im about to give an interview on why i should play Barack Obama, feel my passion bruh

#GiveMeAChance

Danai Gurira would have been a better choice for this role. She can act and has features similar to Nina Simone

People keep saying this but what has she done besides Michonne? There is a big difference between having limited screen time on a show where you are the 4th main character (Rick, Daryl, Glen >>>>) and being the main character in a movie with most of the screen time. Outside of looks what makes her suitable for the role? Y'all logic is as shallow as those you criticise.

she's been acting since 2004. michonne is her breakout role but she's experienced. her never being in a lead role is a wack excuse for her not to be considered. it literally can be said about every main actor and actress before they were given a chance to carry a movie

Zoe herself is a serviceable actress, but her performances has never blown me away. so questioning whether or not she can play an icon such as Nina Simone is fair

we will see

Did she audition and was turned down? People saying she should be casted just because of her looks is wack when she didn't even audition. I am just pointing out the lack of logic with people just randomly dropping her name as if she would kill this role based on looks alone. As I said before IDGAF but naming Michonne has no weight behind it.

What kind of HOMO shit is this.

If you found something homo in a joke/sarcasm about a basketball player being better than 3 other players than you got deeper issues.

She deserves the backlash , she claimed she wasnt black.

She never claimed that...she was on the cover of Ebony magazine a few years black and did an interview talking about being a black woman in DR. She says she's black all the time...with that said there's no way she should've gotten this role. That shit is just terrible casting

the fukk is being black in the DR?

She's talking about, the culture of embracing your blackness in the D.R...

nigga how should I know?

but not every actor/actress has to audition to get a role. sometimes the studio approaches them with the opportunity and they go on from there

I guess you missed what @gns said about lightskin? My comment was in response since Curry is the best player in the NBA and he IS lightskin. Not better because he lightskin. SMH how did that go over your head?

I came to say this. Best example to kill this sign of the times twitter based fuckery is:

denzel-washington-malcolm-x.jpg


Denzel dont look shit like Malcolm

Malcolm was a light skin dude with red hair and green eyes n shit . By yall logic Devante from Jodeci shoulda got the part.

Better yet where's Terence Howard.

"Aww cmon Elijah Muhammad mane"

Lmao

But when in the hell, did Malcolm X have Red Hair and Green Eyes???
