Sráči zbabelí.

“Gods of Egypt” director Alex Proyas and the film’s studio, Lionsgate, have issued apologies for the lack of diverse casting in the mythological action film, which has generated controversy for its predominantly white cast.

Proyas issued a statement apologizing for the lack of racial diversity in the cast on Friday. “The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables, but it is clear that our casting choices should have been more diverse. I sincerely apologize to those who are offended by the decisions we made.”

Lionsgate also acknowledged the need for more inclusive casting in a statement obtained by Variety, which reads: “We recognize that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods portrayed. In this instance we failed to live up to our own standards of sensitivity and diversity, for which we sincerely apologize. Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, can and will continue to do better.​​”

The public apology stands in contrast to Ridley Scott’s response over a similar controversy prompted by the casting for his Egypt-set epic, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” which was banned in Egypt for its “historical inaccuracies” last year.

Lol.

To letní sezóna začíná v únoru a nebo to chtějí utopit?

Právě, Já, Robot je starej víc jak deset let. A Proyas od té doby víceméně nic nenatočil, proto si s ním v té současnosti nejsem tak jistý. Ale tady mě láká obsazení i námět, takže bych si rozhodně přál, aby Proyas zaválel.

Jinak super

Proyas byl* IMHO jeden z nej režisérů minulosti*.

tak, opraveno
