All they're doing when they recast, is telling black people they can have characters but they're not good enough to have "their own" characters.

There are some beautiful women who are black. I try to be kind to everyone but the pictures are not very flattering of Juliette. I have seen genuine drag queens more feminine. This makes me think they're up to something.

All black cast. Then they can blame all the white people for not seeing a "black" movie again.

You might be on to something but only if they translate the dialog into B-More Corner speak.

There is just something so wrong with Shakespearean English in modern settings. I could not stand the DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet or The Captain Picard version of Macbeth.

Not sure how many runs of this they've done there, but this is likely a "no publicity is bad publicity" game.

Woke culture in London is pretty entrenched. Among the theater going crowd? Probably off the charts. I doubt any backlash from normies will have any impact.

That part reminds me of when the architects I worked for would do houses.

Invariably, we'd get to the kitchen and the wife was unable to visualize the fucking cabinet doors.

Every. Fucking. Time.

The cabinet structure, spacing and function could remain the same, but they just couldn't visualize what it'd look like with different doors.

I'd wind up drawing 15 different versions of the GD kitchen cabinet doors and trim profiles clearly noted so they could look them up in the book, and without fucking fail, we'd be getting ready for the final submission and the bitch would walk into the meeting with a fucking magazine and go Oh what would it look like with these doors?

When the bill came due, again without fail, the husband would call us bitching about how high the bill was and we'd have to explain to him, yet again, we don't fucking work for free and his wife wanted 15 fucking versions of the cabinets because she couldn't visualize them.

To whit her replay was always, I thought the price included revisions?

And we would show her the e-mails where she acknowledged that two revisions were included in the price, not fifteen.

The husband would then bitch at us and swear he didn't know his wife was doing that and we should have told him because he was the one writing the check!

And we'd show him the e-mails where we told him it was happening. You know the e-mails he never fucking responded to because he never fucking read them because he was soooooooo happy his wife was bothering someone else with her non-visualization bullshit.

I loved my job but GD I hated doing houses. I am so glad I'm retired now.

I remember painting a brand new house interior 4 times in a row (fresh out of the army, working for a house painter) We'd use the wife's chips, prime and paint. Just as we'd be finishing, she'd come in and say, "no, that isn't right," and have us redo the whole thing in a different color that wasn't even close to the previous one. Rinse and repeat.

Her career is skyrocketing, Holland seems content to do the London thing, likely isn't having as many roles thrown at him anyway. Besides, Dune part 3 hasn't even started filming, she's probably under contractual obligations not to commit to something like that.

People will see it just to see Tom Holland. The Spider Man movies made him a household name, The rest of the cast is probably irrelevant. Add to that the woke proclivities of the London theater set and how controversy sells in general, and it will likely do better than previous iterations.

The Internet hasn’t been quiet since Francesca Amewudah-Rivers was cast alongside Tom Holland in an upcoming Romeo & Juliet.

Amewudah-Rivers was announced as the show’s Juliet in March, one month after it was revealed Holland, 27, was going to be starring in the William Shakespeare play.

Trolls took to Amewudah-Rivers’ Instagram page to antagonize her. The bullying toward the Black actress was so bad that the official Romeo & Juliet Instagram page has turned off comments.

The basic story of Romeo and Juliet is that two kids fall in love while their families hate each other. The reason for the hate is inconsequential. It could be anything, including race.

I don't know anything about the production, when and where is the story set? Does it make sense, or is it horribly unrealistic?

Tracy Chapman may not be a great beauty, but that girl has enough talent and soul to easily overcome that.

Maybe Francesca is a great actress? She sure isn't famous for it.
Can you imagine her joy at being picked for this role? Then that backlash?
It seems they really set this poor girl up to fail. Pretty shitty of them for virtue signaling at her expense.
