What? No mention of the casting controversies for "Prince of Persia" or "The Last Airbender"?

Isn't that rather like a tree falling in the woods and wondering if it makes a sound? Can there be a controversy if no one has watched the movie?

For a casting controversy no one needs to see the movie. Long before Shyamalan began filming there was discussion about the choice of actors for Airbender, particularly the lead role. Has anyone seen the movie "Thor"? It's not been released as yet but it's been mentioned here. If one set of casting choices can be raised why not others?

Interesting tangent to this story:
Huckleberry Finn loses the 'n****r' he loves, thanks to a publisher's ethnic cleansing http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture...nic-cleansing/ I find this interesting - we're (apparently) about to see a multi-racial Middle-earth (on film at least) & a possible crackdown on any appearance of smoking in the films. Will we ever see this kind of 'ethnic cleansing' in the books? Maybe we'll see an edition of the books at some point with the smoking excised - not to mention all those 'negative' references to 'black' ... |

What is really humourous is that the publisher seeks to eradicate the N-word from a great piece of literature, while at the same time hundreds of rap songs contain the same word over and over in countless variations. I guarantee more impressionable youngsters are getting their daily supplement of racial pejoratives from rap than, heaven forbid, reading a book.
