I doubt Coogler is gonna say no to massive amounts of money but I think Disney already has that covered on the directorial end. They're not going to assign Del Toro, or some other director to direct Black Panther lol

Other directors and movie cast members have said similarly controversial stuff in the past for the simple sake of free publicity.
And by past, I meant within the last 20 years...

Nothing new here.

I'm sorry, I meant that African culture is kinda central to the theme of this franchise i.e., Black Panther. I can totally understand why you were confused.

I don't know if it counts as making their own movie when the source material was invented by 2 white guys

People mean an original film based on an original idea. Black Panther is based on comics from the 60's written by white people

Do you really think that when someone says something like "should should make their own movies" they mean, "they should be granted jobs based on race from mostly white multinational corporations."? That's your interpretation?

Uh, the article didn't say anything about them hiring anyone in the first place. Just that Will Packer thinks a movie where black culture is a central part of the theme should be directed by someone who is black.

and they are ok with it because "now whites get to feel how it is to be discriminated against"
they don't care about equality at all.

You all have done zero to quell it to this point aside from arguing against actually stomping it out, but boy oh boy are you all here for this type of argument the moment a window opens.

Do you really think that when someone says something like "should should make their own movies" they mean, "they should be granted jobs based on race from mostly white multinational corporations."? That's your interpretation?

I don't recall that particular line of reasoning ever prescribing a method by which black people should seek greater representation, but only that they should. Now they gotta form all black companies too? If they did is that going to be called racist as well?
