Black Actors Who Were Offered Roles as Slaves and Walked Away

by

Will Smith turned down the lead role in ‘Django Unchained’ because he disagreed with the story’s direction and how the main relationship was portrayed. He preferred a story focused on love and empowerment, not revenge, and felt the script didn’t align with that. Throughout his career, Smith had often avoided slavery-themed projects, wanting to avoid reinforcing limited and negative portrayals of Black people. He later chose ‘Emancipation’ because it focused on resilience and love within the context of slavery, rather than simply depicting suffering.

Pierce Brosnan Says He’s Heard Dr. Fate Will Return for MAN OF TOMORROW

by

I was really excited to hear Pierce Brosnan talk about his role as Doctor Fate! He revealed in a GQ interview (as reported by IGN) that the original idea was for his character to be a regular fixture in the DC Universe, a key part of future films. Sadly, that plan changed after Black Adam didn’t perform as hoped, and it seems Dwayne Johnson’s vision for the studio didn’t quite take off. Still, it’s fascinating to hear what Brosnan had to say about it all, and here’s what he shared:

Here Are All the TV Shows Coming to Peacock This Week, Including ‘Trolls: The Beat Goes On!’

by

I’m so excited for ‘The Good Place’ to arrive on November 17th! It’s a show created by Michael Schur – the guy behind ‘Parks and Recreation’ and ‘The Office’ – and it’s seriously brilliant. It follows Eleanor Shellstrop, who ends up in the afterlife and it’s…well, not what you’d expect. She’s surrounded by a really interesting group – an ethics professor, a super-smart assistant, and this incredibly optimistic architect. Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, D’Arcy Carden, and Manny Jacinto all star, and over four seasons, the show manages to be both hilarious and genuinely thought-provoking, mixing classic sitcom vibes with surprisingly deep philosophical questions. Schur was the showrunner, and Universal Television brought it all to life.
