I know someone is keeping a list, I just forget where it is.
In April, Amazon is coming out with an adaptation of Without Remorse, a Tom Clancy novel where a man rescues a prostitute from a street gang and events transpire that result in a classic revenge story. In the original, he's Irish. In the Amazon adaptation, he's a black man avenging his pregnant wife.
Because of course. Amazon and Netflix are cancer.
Was Greer (of Jack Ryan) black in the book? Cause they made him black - and a freaking Muslim who screams about holding his 'tasbih' to not freak out about a Frenchman expressing love for his country...
He was black, as I recall, but not a Muslim.
Greer was black in the good movies, played by James Earl Jones.
Mufasa?
Now I've got to watch the movies...
You should watch The Hunt for Red October, at least. It was made by John McTiernan, the same director responsible for Die Hard and Predator.
You forgot to mention Last Action Hero
Of course I've already seen that one. Not Die Hard or Predator though.
But anything with James Earl Jones is worth seeing.
