TV Reboots That Swapped Minority Leads for White Ones

This hit medical show is inspired by a South Korean drama from 2013. The original series featured Joo Won as a brilliant pediatric surgeon with autism, set in a highly competitive hospital. The American remake cast Freddie Highmore as Dr. Shaun Murphy in the same role. While the new version kept the main storyline and emotional impact of the original, it changed the character’s background, making him a white British-American instead of Korean. The show was a big hit for ABC, running for seven seasons.

A24’s New Horror Film ‘Undertone’ Unveils First Trailer — and It’s Deeply Unsettling

Okay, so I just heard about this new movie called Undertone. It’s directed by Ian Tuason, and it’s actually his first time directing a full-length feature – pretty cool! The story centers around Evy, played by Nina Kiri, who co-hosts a podcast about the paranormal. Here’s the twist: she’s a total skeptic! Her co-host, Justin (voiced by Kris Holden-Ried), totally believes in ghosts, which should make for some fun dynamic. Things get interesting when Evy has to move back home to care for her seriously ill mother, and I’m guessing that’s when things start getting really spooky.
