They don't lose money or audience. Racially diverse casts get higher profits and more audience share.

Criticism of religion is not racism...

You must have been hiding under a rock if you don't know who Nicole Beharie or Jessie Williams are. Grey's Anatomy has been running for a while and made some household names out of it's cast. Nicole has been the lead of the hit Sleepy Hollow for 3 years, played Jackie Robinson's wife in 42.

Micheal Ealy, Nikki Beharie, Jesse Williams...how have you not heard of them? Lol
shareAlso this cast is largely white. A few black actors will make you hate the film? What's that really about.
shareProblem is that Jacob's Ladder is a retelling of a classic short story by Ambrose Bierce called An Incident at Owl Creek Bridge. which has been adapted several times including an episode of the Twilight Zone. The original took place during the Civil War. I have not heard any details about this version but I would not be surprised if it's Iraq or Afghanistan and PTSD is a subtheme. I will wait till I know more before condemnation.
shareAh yes, having 8 of 40 actors be black, 5 of which are background actors truly is a "black out" and getting out of hand. The horror!! The horror! We should just go back to all white actors and use black face paint. Or better yet, not. Let us revel in the beauty of all aryan cast.
Diversity be damned! We want white! We want white! {}

The blatant bigotry on this entire board is disgusting. Thank you to those who are shutting it down reminding these ignorant racists about the fine work these talented black actors have contributed to Hollywood and film. Make that a very small cast of black actors. As someone already pointed out only a handful of the cast is black with majority still being white. I did not want to believe it, but it is true. Now that we have a president elect about to take office who has nastily displayed his lack of respect and appreciation for people that differ from his race and beliefs, more and more hateful people have no shame spitting out their feelings. I guess I should be glad they're revealing themselves.
Anyways enough negativity. I am looking forward to this movie as a fan of the original version. The cast lined up for this looks quite promising! I'm happy for them.
Perfectly said and I too am looking forward to seeing this movie!
