Sylvester Stallone Plans To Make A Movie About Jack Johnson. Who Should Play Johnson?

[Eff Pandas]

The Rock!? Man that's a horrible pick. They should get Forrest Whitaker

Forrest Whitaker IS my pick for Uncle Ruckus if they ever make a Boondocks movie.

Anthony Johnson playing Jack Johnson

They need a black man for the role

The Rock isn't considered black

We trying to make money over here bruh. The Rock is selling tickets.

Ken Burns has a very good HBO documentary on Jack:

And History on Fire did a 3 part series on him, late last year:

Idris......

I'd go for Idris too but his southern accent in Prometheus was comically bad, which was weird considering he nailed the Baltimore accent in the wire. Where was Johnson from?

Idris Elba or Nonso Anozie. Nonso would be a much better fit looks wise but I don't know how his American accents are.

Yea I don't hate Idris either. He's well known + can act.

[The Smash]

He's got to be dark skinned and do a good southern accent.

How many guys does that leave?

[The Old LefHook]

The hack is back. This story has been done to death. The world does not need another brainless Stallone melodrama.

Yeah but Hollywood doesn't think the Rock is black

they consider him raceless or ambiguous like Vin Diesel's

That's why his on-screen families often look like this



and in this pc times, no way they're gonna cast a non-black in a black role

blackwashing is perfectly fine in Hollywood

but changing a black character's race would be an outrage
