Ha ha. The casting was the least of the movie’s issues. I like watching Elba and I think Matthew McConaughey was phenomenal casting for the Man in Black.
I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.
Exactly the same response to how they cast Roland in The Dark Tower. Apparently Roland is a cursed name now.
You mean Idris Elba isn’t good casting for a character described as a “honky mufuh” with “bombardier blue” eyes?
I like watching Idris but he ain’t no Roland Deschain.
The color of Idris Elba’s skin and eyes had absolutely fuck all to do with why that movie was fucking awful.
