Let me guess, you mad Roland is black huh? Did you sperg out like you did about Mary Jane?

have you seen the trailer? the blackwashing is the least of this thing's problem. I'd start by letting darabont write and direct this thing and put my trust in his choices for casting and everything else. king fucked up by saying no to darabont and then saying yes to akiva fucking goldsman.

>the sort of person who lobbies for blackwashing in hollywood is the sort of person who spergs out when Scarlett Johansson is cast as the lead in Ghost in the Shell

>>82374338
So that's a yes, sport?

Literally should have been Matthew Mcconaughey as Roland and Terry O'Quinn as the Man in Black

Nothing wrong with the casting, but more realistic approach needs to be applied.

>>82374517

Or Cort, could see him as Cort too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Flagg

>King initially cited Donald DeFreeze, primary kidnapper of Patty Hearst, as his inspiration for Flagg. Later, he attributed Flagg to an image of a man walking the roads in cowboy boots, denim jeans, and a jacket, a notion which "came out of nowhere" when he was in college. Flagg's character and the nature of his evil have been the subject of considerable critical attention.

So Flagg was supposed to be black? That would probably piss off a bunch of people though.

You can't forget the face of your father if you've never seen it before

I unironically wouldn't have minded a black flagg. I think there need to be more black villains in films. Not espousing some pol tier sentiment here, I just think if we're going to do the inclusiveness we should also have some more evil black people now and then. It would be interesting to see.

>>82375577
Ealy was pretty sinister in The Following and has the right look. I think it'd be a great idea.
