Jamie Foxx is in this?


Is this... is this first black actor Edgar Wright has worked with?

In a notable role, probably. He just casts people who look like him and his bros in the leads of every movie. Foxx will probably just be a side character. Ed's gotta have the pretty young white kids in the leading roles.

I KNOW! *beep* SHAME on Wright for never having worked with, or had a black actor/actress in his movies! He's obviously as horrid and depraved a human being as any child molestor is! Is there ANY possible way that we could perhaps have him brought up on charges in order to prosecute his lily white behind for this racial travesty he's committed throughout his filmmaking career?

Poor Edgar Wright, now the latest victim of PC Culture. Political Correctness = Tyranny With Manners.

Just an observation. Wright's one of my favorite directors. Race is just something he's never really tackled in his films, and I don't know if he's going to have racial tension be a subtext in this heist film or if it's something he's mostly gonna ignore.

So calm your fat ugly Mexican tits because I give no *beep* about being PC on the internet.

My post is clearly an exaggerated response to an overly and ridiculously exaggerated 'issue' and/or 'problem' as it relates to Mr. Wright not having worked with many black actors in his films. It's not a crime(at least not yet; just give The PC Police a bit more time on it) for a director not to use many, or even any, black characters in their various films. And to have an issue or to be offended that he doesn't use that many of them is just yet another example of The PC Police Force working overtime in their continuing effort to simply rail against anything or anyone that doesn't slavishly pander to the tyrannical call for racial diversity that is now apparently being thrust and enforced upon every single, solitary movie that's made these days.
