Blackgeekdom: The Fox and Halle Berry

  • blackfanboy · 1 year ago
    I understand why a studio may need to make a racial switch if it gets them a bigger star to attach to the film. I doubt this film would have been made if it wasn't for Jolie. Thats the nature of the business. But in a case liek Spawn switching Terry's race didnt add anythign to the film. They should have stuck to the comic. The only reason i could come up with is that they had issues with too many blck peopleon the screen. If it is a better reason I wish somebody would tell me

    This film was a go before Jolie was attached. It was going to be made regardless of her participation. I think getting her to sign on was icing on the cake for the producers. I bet that it had more to do with the overall changing of the look of the film than anything else. The only racial issue I could see that maybe they had a problem with was creating a possible interracial relationship between The Fox and Wesley; the producers were probably more concerned about avoiding that than just trying to make a place for Jolie.

    Your point is well taken and stands on its own. Good ahead and rant brotha!

    Instead of Jinx from DIE ANOTHER DAY, the Fox comic book character more likely gets her killer looks and amoral temperament from Halle Berry's performance as Ginger Knowles in the film SWORDFISH.

    You know what? I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't want to say it.
