For me it doesn't make any difference. As you wrote, they are actors. Nevertheless I wouldn't like to see for example Latino Americans or Asian actors (Chinese, Japanese etc.) playing Moses and Ramesses. Would you? I'm not racist but it wouldn't work. It just a matter of taste. But then again, evey taste is relative.m4st4 wrote:What difference does it make, Colin Farrell is Irish and he played Alexander.

Whoa.. Um what? So, you wouldn't be okay with for example, actors like Javier Bardem or Benicio Del Toro playing either character? And if I were an actor I couldn't audition for Moses or Ramses? No, not racist at all. Not calling you racist but just saying it doesn't make sense.Ingwar wrote:For me it doesn't make any difference. As you wrote, they are actors.

Regarding Bardem (he is Spanish not Latin American but it doesn't matter) I wouldn't mind of course. I just generalised. There is always some exception. Would you like to see Asian actor playing Moses or Ramesses? I'm not racist. Just being honest. It's the same as I wouldn't like to see Japanese samurai being portrayed by Caucasian actor.jcvargas09 wrote: Whoa.. Um what?

No, it doesn't. Bardem is Hispanic.jcvargas09 wrote:Bardem being Spanish does make him a Latino.

"...though the term has also been incorrectly used as a synonym for Hispanic."
New clip called Miriam. Great acting!

Edgerton impressed me in that clip, he's going to be great, possibly even better than Bale but that remains to be seen - their dinamic will certainly lead this film.
Edgerton's always good. Underrated actor in my opinion.
Edgerton's going to chew up Bale and spit him back out
