Robert Downey Jr. just portrayed a white man who turned himself black. Gary Oldman has portrayed a black man in True Romance. The Wayans Brothers have even played White Girls. Fuck it, last year Bob Dylan was portrayed by women and blacks.

Memoirs of a Geisha? She was Chinese.

Any film you see that comes out of Hollywood with Native Americans in it? They're all Mexicans or Chinese or White actors.

 

Haven't seen True Romance.... but if base your opinion on movies like "White girls", I don't know what else to say.. except those movie never took itself seriously. Now, if this movie is going to try to compete with the likes of Dark Knight or Iron Man, it better gets its characters right.

 

P.S. Memoirs of a Geisha? Guess what? Chinese and Japanese actually look alike. Does Jake look Persian?

It's a friggin movie, who cares? I'd rather a good actor play the role than a bum they lifted off some daytime soap.

As long as Maggie's not in it...

Who do you think would win in a fight? Jake G. or J.C.?

 

Oh man I can't stop the lulz!  I'm gonna faint.

 

 

Awww, thanks... that means so much coming from you, funny naked guy.

But you didn't answer.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Speaking of Iron Man...

What about Nick Fury?

It doesn't matter the ethnicity of the person as long as they do it well. Now, notice that I put Nick Fury instead of Catwoman. That was intentional. ;)

heck, maybe that was one of the reason Catwoman failed so miserably? ;)

 

I would agree mostly, but this movie is called "Prince of PERSIA"... kinda hard to see a person who is nowhere near Persian.

Kinda like having a Tomb Raider game that was nowhere near a tomb... (yes, that was intentional too)

How about they just tried to find an actor that actually looks like the Prince in the first place and not some random persian dude from the streets?

I say, as long as he looks like him, I'm OK!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I think it's all wrong.
I'd look 'similar' to the prince if you slapped a wig on me and made me take off my shirt! Sheesh...

And the Prince is supposed to be slender and toned, not broad and bulky.



The Ghost of RubangB on 12 August 2008

I don't even like Jake G, but I guess he'd take out Jesus. That fool would just turn the other cheek and get his ass handed to him.





Oh, and Sasha Baron Cohen can play an amazing black man, an amazing Kazakh, and an amazing Austrian.

Actually the Nick Fury is incorrect. Nick Fury was modeled after Samuel L. Jackson in the Ultimates comic universe so he technically is black now in the comics. They did this purposely with his consent so he could become Fury for future movie roles.

Also have you really seen the Prince? He doesn't look so Persian himself.

That guy looks as white boy as Jake does.

I agree, Sasha Baron Cohen should have been cast as the Prince.

Yup, that would have been better.

is he even Persian?

Part Jewish part Sweedish.

I mean what can go wrong with having a Jew portray a Persian.

ROFLOL!
