role so well... a lot of bruhs with jungle fever was cured for a hot minute...

Only a fool would fall for SLJ's weak ass argument that African American actors make African American roles more authentic because of experience.
Sam was only trying to protect himself and trying to insure that HE has job security down the line. Nothing more, nothing less.
I mean; you don't see Sam denouncing Disney/Marvel (the very company that put a whole lotta $$$$ in his pockets) for casting an African American as a 100% AFRICAN hero do you...?
or Halle Berry as Storm
or Kerry Washington (starring as one of Amin's very African wives) who was ALSO in The Last King of Scotland
(And FYI; Sam himself, was also IN Coming to America by the way...)

fuck you sam was wrong. men lie, numbers don't.
the movie costs 4.5 to make. you telling me that sam jackson and all the other rich black hollywood stars, couldnt make their own shit?
I didnt have a problem with the casting or Sam Jacksons comments... But to say they were motivated by him wanting job security is fucking laughable... Hes a certified A list iconic actor with a resume longer than traintracks and a bank account to match. Also, those examples you provided all fail as a valid comparison. When you find one made by a citizen of a foreign country, about that countries history, premiering and promoted in that country, and starring an American then lets talk.Only a fool would fall for SLJ's weak ass argument that African American actors make African American roles more authentic because of experience.

dude i've been making this argument for yrsss on here..back when people was acting like u need a huge budget for a good movie..i kept on using saw, the purge, blair witch project, paranormal activity, etc for refrence points that u didn't..people use to argue with me now get out yet again proves my point... this goes back to my theory that they can they juss don't want to
Was good all the way around
i didnt wat to elobarate but thats correct. shit chronicle cost 12mill to make and made like 130mill. that turned Michael B jordan
into a star. if black hollywood wants they can do all that. thats why i laughed when Will Smith was complaining about the Oscars.
Don't he die in that?
Fruitville Station made him a star not that movie
I prefer movies where we are the hero and not getting killed halfway through the movie. But he's in the ads to bring in the.black audience
fruitville did helped but chronicle what got people interested in him for him to do fruitville etc.. he was the best thing in that movie even white people didnt want him to die. whether fruitville came out or not that movie would have made him a star.Don't he die in that?

Yea well he did die in chronicle, he could have easily been typecast but he showed chops as a actor in fruitvile.
Creed put him over the top.
its not like he died in the first 5 min. people got to know him. he had the best role in the movie.
Apples and oranges. Samuel Jackson never said that Get Out was a bad movie or didn't make money. He said it would be interesting to see an African American black male's take on the role, since the British brothas have a different experience with racism than their American counterparts. He also said African-Americans are losing a lot of roles to Black Brits in Hollywood because the Brits will work for cheaper.
AND HE IS RIGHT.
He didn't say the movie sucked or had no earning potential, so throwing up profit numbers has nothing to do with it. Should have just said "Props to Jordan Peele for a box office WIN!" and called it a day. Sam ain't worried about money. Dude has bank and his Hollywood rep is solidified. He was speaking on how Hollywood whites like to use non-African Americans to play African Americans. AND HE'S RIGHT. Hollywood is about that paper and always has been. Jordan got it done for cheap and made a big bankroll. That being said, there was a missed opportunity for some AA brotha to put a AA spin on the character and add a different take on the character.
Still, it was a great movie.
Still, Jordan got paid.
What the problem iz?

Samuel L. Jackson Clarifies Stance On British Actors: “It Was Not A Slam Against Them”
CREDIT: YouTube
Samuel L. Jackson caught some flack over his recent interview with Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning. The veteran actor stopped by the New York radio station to promote his latest movie, Kong: Skull Island, but took a moment to share his thoughts on box office hit, Get Out.
“I know the young brother who’s in the movie [Daniel Kaluuya], and he’s British. There are a lot of black British actors that work in this country. All the time,” the BET Lifetime Achievement Award-winner said. “I tend to wonder what would that movie have been with an American brother who really understands that in a way. Because Daniel grew up in a country where they’ve been interracial dating for a hundred years. Britain, there’s only about eight real white people left in Britain… So what would a brother from America made of that role? I’m sure the director helped. Some things are universal, but everything ain’t.”
Jackson extended his thoughts to Ava Duvernay’s Selma, in which British-Nigerian actor David Oyelowo starred as civil rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., before offering his opinion on why the influx exists.
“They don’t cost as much. Unless you’re an unknown brother that they’re finding somewhere,” he explained. “They think they’re better trained, for some reason, than we are because they’re classically trained. I don’t know what the love affair is with all that. It’s all good. Everybody needs to work, but there are a lot of brothers here that need to work too. They come here because there are more opportunities, and they actually get paid when they work here. Which is fine.”
Well, many didn’t care for the movie icon’s assessment, including Star Wars: The Force Awaken’s John Boyega. However, Jackson has since clarified his comments with the Associated Press. “It was not a slam against them, but it was just a comment about how Hollywood works in an interesting sort of way sometimes,” he said.
“We’re not afforded that same luxury, but that’s fine, we have plenty of opportunities to work,” he continued. “I enjoy their work. I enjoy working with them when I have the opportunity to do that.”

Samuel Jackson: Comments about black Brit actors not a slam
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Samuel Jackson said Wednesday he wasn’t trying to slam black British actors when he criticized their casting in American films such as the horror hit “Get Out” and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. drama “Selma.”
Jackson told The Associated Press that his comments Monday on the radio station Hot 97 weren’t necessarily misunderstood, but his criticism was not of the performers but rather of the system that allows black actors from overseas take prominent roles in American films.
“It was not a slam against them, but it was just a comment about how Hollywood works in an interesting sort of way sometimes,” Jackson said at the premiere of his new film “Kong: Skull Island.”
Jackson noted on Monday that a lot of roles are going to British actors. He said he wondered what “Get Out” would have been like “with an American brother who really feels that.” Jordan Peele’s film is about an African-American photographer, played by the British actor Daniel Kaluuya, whose white girlfriend brings him home to her parents’ house.
Jackson also pointed to Ava DuVernay’s “Selma,” which starred David Oyelowo as King.
His comments drew criticism from John Boyega, the British “Star Wars” star, who on Twitter called the debate a “stupid” conflict “we don’t have time for.”
On Wednesday, Jackson was complimentary of the skills and hard work black British performers put in to take on American roles, but he said that was a one-way street.
“We’re not afforded that same luxury, but that’s fine, we have plenty of opportunities to work,” he said.
“I enjoy their work,” Jackson said of his British counterparts. “I enjoy working with them when I have the opportunity to do that.”
