Jordan Peele on Making Movies After 'Us': "I Don't See Myself Casting a White Dude as the Lead"

[BlackRob]

What about a white female, like his wife?

yeah, ur right. didn't notice that. wasn't paying attention to his personal life.

wonder if Jordan is getting the same treatment from BW like Winston Duke? After Black Panther, they were all fanz, but started hating and droppin M'Baku when they saw he had an Asian wife

 

[keone]

Black is black fuk outta herre

 

[Nzinga]

 

[Ninja05]

Why do we care who he is dating in his personal life? That is some estrogen shit. Brotha puts out great movies with predominantly black casts and allows them to shine.

Never happy ass ninjas are the worst. Putting up purity tests from the sidelines.

 

[AllUniverse17]

I think Peele is mixed himself.

Ya'll gotta stop trying to shame that man.

 

[keone]

I think Peele is mixed himself.

Ya'll gotta stop trying to shame that man.

He is .dad or grandfather.
Anyway if he puts money in black people pockets who cares.

 

[godofwine]

Fine people on both sides.

 

[chrislee]

Is the bitch gonna cast a AA as a lead anytime soon tho?

What for when he's making new stars from his films.

 

[REDLINE]

What about a white female, like his wife?

The man’s making movies staring mostly Black people. Making great movies and y’all concerned about what that man dick do?

 

[furlough]

Once again, Us was trash.

yep, just caught it last night

and you sir, are correct

[gene cisco]

Fuck who he is married to. Let the man live. Us was just ok to me, but I want the black horror to keep coming. Been complaining about the lack of black sci fi and horror for the longest. Peele is a start and can inspire others to concentrate on those genres to bring their own flare.

 

[playahaitian]

 

[tallblacknyc]

Lol he's big mad

 

[Amajorfucup]

What for when he's making new stars from his films.

And he should continue to do so. But he should also make some AA ones... considering thats his biggest supporting audience and who he shares atleast some cultural experience with. He also made his career representing an AA aesthetic so expecting him to provide opportunity for that demographic isnt unreasonable.

 

[bgbtylvr]

Dope. But there are some things you think and. Never say.

 

[playahaitian]

Lol he's big mad

The maddest

But to be fair?

Peele should not have ever said this publicly

I UNDERSTAND

especially since not long ago we as a people pretty much considered him AND his partner borderline coons or at least not REALLY black

And the white wife thing.

I understand much like Glover he being thrust into the black icon role kinda quick. Lotta pressure.

But THIS is NOT what you say publicly at least not NOW and not YOU.

but most certainly DO IT IN PRACTICE

@tallblacknyc @ViCiouS @largebillsonlyplease

Have talked many times in the past about many of the best most powerful influential moves particularly that benefit BLACK folk are done in SILENCE

just DO the damn thing

Don't serk permission, praise, acceptance, or accolades.

All that will come AFTER its done.

Peele probably spends so much damn time and money keeping the endings of his movies secret...

Why give away the biggest twist you can pull that could potentially change your entire industry for the betterment of your people?

Cause now you gave these real life monsters, valuable fuel and energy, when they were starving.

This is now potentially the worst key and peele skit ever.

Bad Boys move in silence and violence

Don't ask me about my business kay

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Dope. But there are some things you think and. Never say.

Nope
You say those things
We keep living by this "code" of civil that frankly they do not and never have.

I agree
I am happy black is black
And keeping with that theme black from here is black too.

Nah
Cause the entire point of this shit is
His movies are cultural and financial hits
And they asked him this bullshit

So when have they asked Christopher Nolan or any other acclaimed director do you see yourself having a black lead in your film?

NEVER

So why ask him?


They asked and they got the answer

Fuck all that shit
He can write his own ticket
And we're his audience
So he's not trying to please them
He's trying to please us
And we need more than that

He will get his funding as long as he's making hits
And we not boycotting so if the movies good we going

Stop being scared of white ppl

 

[TimRock]

So when have they asked Christopher Nolan or any other acclaimed director do you see yourself having a black lead in your film?

Ironically, Nolan just announced that he cast John Washington as the lead in his next movie. Or at least one of the leads.

 

[keone]

yeah but they never ask them those questions. they always do it with us

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

And everyone reaction including my own was surprise
The funny thing is he was the first cast and the lead
And now that he's added 2 white ppl to the cast guess who's name ALWAYS comes last...even though he's the lead of the film when they talk about it now?












You say ah you reading too much into it

But then


Before they were attached it clearly said he's the lead
Afterwards did it?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

What can they do to him?
He is talent and brings in money and has his audience unwavering support
He already won an Oscar so you can't even dangle that award over him to keep him in line

fuck these ppl be honest not rude
Honest
If we want more inclusion
Then we need someone saying well I'll make the cast diverse with meaningful black ppl

I see your "stop being scared of white people" and I say, do as they do. They don't say it.

You go to an interview, they know full well they're going to hire somebody white for this position. But they don't tell you that. They let you go through the sham interview

I'm about to get my business going. I saw study a few years ago that said in 1910 98% of black people worked for white people. And In 2010 98% black people worked for white people. 100 years and no progress.

If I can help it, I'm not going to hire White people. I'm not going to announce it to the world, but you can best believe unless I can't find anyone my entire staff is going to be Black.

White people can be evil, bitter people when they see themselves being discriminated against even though they discriminate against everybody all the time everywhere...so I'm not going to say it

My point is that it wasn't unsolicited though
The question is trash
They wanted white assurance that they will be a lead and thus makes everything right in the world
They can't understand a world where they aren't the central driving force
So don't ease their mind if they ask
Fuck you

Stop being scared of white ppl

You 100% on that part

The damn question was bullsh*t

I was wrong to ignore that.

I aint afraid and neither should he but you can't have it both ways

To act like they ain't the enemy? is just as absurd.

We already in a time where every major studio (and many corporations in general) are being called out for the lack of women & minorities.

So I'm not blaming him on that level.

But why not just do it?

To me the FEAR is broadcasting your movement.

These white folks will twist ANYTHING.

Its like Kap kneeling.

These folks don't care about no anthem. They dont want to address cops murdering innocent black people, PERIOD

Marshawn aint stand and down right refused to say why.

And white folks didnt care.

Because they did not really care. But they NEEDED to stop the MOVEMENT.

I'm saying they burned down black wall street.

And quiet is kept i think they started to crack down on bitcoin because if organized WE could potentially do it again.

I feel like he doing something SPECIAL. Just do it. We see it. Its undeniable

And the QUESTION? And the response? could potentially undermine it.

You REALLY think after all the things you hipped me to about the game, that is outside the realm of POSSIBILITY?

It aint fear, its weariness of history repeating itself.

 

[playahaitian]

Nope
You say those things
We keep living by this "code" of civil that frankly they do not and never have.

I hear you here too.

I'm sick of that too.

But to me telling them what we doing?

Is civil as f*ck.

Doing it in plain sight, without saying a damn thing? And succeeding?

Now that to me is some subversive sh*t.

 

[Silencer]

yeah, ur right. didn't notice that. wasn't paying attention to his personal life.

wonder if Jordan is getting the same treatment from BW like Winston Duke? After Black Panther, they were all fanz, but started hating and droppin M'Baku when they saw he had an Asian wife

Just to clarify he was (or is, don't know their current status) dating an Asian chick. He ain't married.

Aahha

Stop being scared of white ppl

if he f und his own projects he could say whatever he wants unfortunately he doesn't so he might wanna keep his intentions on the low low until he ready to come out his own pocket... A racist jew would rather not make money and have a blackman fail than be rich and have a proud blackman achieve...time for him to fund his own projects
