Wesley Snipes Discusses the Black Panther Live-Action Movie

I sense a tangent and a thread jacking coming.
No, just a dose of reality.
There's really nothing wrong with that since many of Panther's stories take place in America and in the cities.

i told you before not to quote me bitch.
fuck the holder of the body that inspired quaid.
too old? Snipes is 48, Robert Downey Jr is 45, and Samul L Jackson is 62.
age aint got shit to do with it.
age aint got shit to do with it.
there were six. only place i know to get them would be torrent sites.
agreed. but i still never knew why it aired in australia.
and it still made no sense for b.e.t. not to air it. the money had obviously already been spent.
are you serious? when has a lack of an accent ever been a problem in a movie? thats why they are called actors.
CHURCH! Blade kicked it off for Marvel and had a strong hand in bring the Vamp genre back into style. It will never get the props it deserves.
And dont forget Ryan Reynolds annoying ass as Green Latern and Deadpool. But they're white. Different rules apply.
You also missed his point of mentioning Stewart.
Dude was be perfect for the part.... maybe djimon hounsou would be good in the role...
It does for an action movie that the studio would hope would spawn sequels. There's a reason comic characters don't age. Downey and Jackson can get away with it because Iron Man is done through CGI and robotics and Nick Fury is played more as the schemer and less the warrior. Even if they increased his action, Fury would still be a guntoter and not a hand to hand combatant like Black Panther would be.

He did but he made a good point.
I though I misspelled Stewart but since no one noticed/said anything I didn't make the edit.
Translation: White folks re-writing history so that they get more credit and reduce the importance of a black male in the success of an idea.
Nothing new here. Fuckin' crackas.
right.
Some of y'all be talking out y'all ass

I agree but there is some validity to that argument.
I'm not saying what your saying is incorrect. But do you really think Hollywood would hold back on any kind of movie regardless of the cast, if they could make good money? for what end? A black superhero doesn't get popular? Hell you would think thats just another audience, stream of income for them.
Shit.
At this point,
The only ONLY way a Black Super-Hero flick will ever be made,
Is if Tyler Perry's name is attached to it.
That's the only time a majority of our people will come out to support a "Black" film anyway.
You and DjM have empathize this but still haven't given a viable reason why not! unless it's simply, it's a black cast and story. If its good and provides a new audience(blacks) along with what they already have, why would "they" not want to peruse this additional stream of income?
I beg to differ ... those are 2 outstanding performers
Awwwww fuck it, I wanna see eye candy damnitAnd Wesley Snipes is last on the list of eye candy
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Is my personal pick (other than Wesley Snipes) to play the role of T'Challa.
Dude's an exceptional actor with incredible range and anyone who's seen him in Serenity and Red Belt will recognize that Chiwetel has got skills and credible screen presence for days.
Shit.

Nah. Will Smith could make it happen. He's arguably the most bankable actor in Hollywood. But he did Hancock already. Most of the guys mentioned are B and C Listers. Nobody's going to build a $50-100M movie around them. You might be able to convince somebody to back a $30M Luke Cage movie starring 50 cent, but it would most likely turn out to be
.A Power Man and Iron Fist movie wouldn't surprise me, because it would no longer be seen as a "black" movie. All of a sudden, they'd find more money for the budget and marketing. The interracial buddy/action film has a successful track record in Hollywood, only this time, they're superheroes!
They don't think it's worth the effort. Read this:

That article is a few years old, but now it's something like 60% of a film's worldwide gross comes from foreign markets. If a movie bombs here, it can still make a profit from international box office returns... unless it's a "black" movie. See, black movies don't sell overseas (unless it's Will or Denzel in the lead). As a result, they opt for low risk "urban" films (hood movies, Tyler Perry, anything under $20M) that will, hopefully, make its money back on domestic gross alone. Damn hard to make a good superhero movie for $20-25M.
That's a damn shame, we stay catching that "L".
dude... i got two words for this: The Expendables.
you got 60 year old mafukkas running around and shit in this movie.
the only difference, is they WHITE DUDES.
Indiana FUCKING Jones' last movie had a 60 + year old lead ACTION character.
oh, but he's WHITE too.
so give me a fucking break.
age aint got SHIT to do with it.
Nothing I said is incorrect. It's just facts. Do the research and it's all there. Even Blunt could'nt refute it. Just offer "what if" pie in the sky scenarios about how it "could" happen. Go back and read the interviews from Todd McFarlane when SPAWN was released. Cracka broke it down plain as day.
It's 2010 and niggas STILL can't see that hollywood is all about image and perception? People talkin bout HANCOCK as an example but look at that shit. Nigga most powerful being on the planet and he a bum that can't do shit right until white boy talks him into GOIN TO JAIL WILLFULLY. This nigga just chillin up in jail puttin people heads up other people asses and shit. Then the white bitch just as powerful as he is and she his kryptonite.lol.
Really...a nigga wit superpowers can't do shit right until white man "set's him straight" and he stays away from white woman?
That shit can't compare to BLADE. First movie was all Wesley even tho you had the hollywood formula of white father figure, mentor for the black character. Blade 2 they introduced the blood pack and they found a white boy for whistler's replacement. Blade 3 this nigga damn near a extra in the franchise he built.
There's an interview on a dvd with Kevin Smith and Stan Lee where Kevin tries to say that Spiderman kicked off the whole superhero movie craze and Stan CORRECTS him and states that no it was Blade that showed Marvel what could be done and that superhero movies could be a success and that after Blade opened the way it did everything else was put on the fast track.
As to your question about hollywood holding back on any kind of movie...just look up Melvin Van Peebles. Yall probly think SHAFT was originally written as a black character huh?
Those aren't just ANY 60-year-olds. They have a special status, though even THEY couldn't get a mega-buck, effects film greenlighted these days. The Expendables isn't breaking any records.
