I think it's smart that the tone of the movie doesn't focus on the romance at the expense of the danger.

Danger? I think it would be smart to not fear the danger as it will turn into an excuse for producers to go back to nixing on IR between black men and white women. A United Kingdom faced that danger head on and was successful.

Speaking of that, I just hope they didn't take out the romance all together, but fans of the book will notice if they did so I don't think they would. It would be The Pelican Brief all over again(in the age of social media this time.). And the latest movie based on a book where they take out the romance because a black man and white woman is playing the parts, like they did with The Circle.

I thought "A United Kingdom" was a limited theatrical release movie though?

If that flick has no lovin in it it is just a action flick with a Black gelding.

Yeah, but it was successful while showing on very few screens(I managed to find it.). It ended making $14 million which was the budget of the film. Imagined what it would of done if they released on more screens. And that's even with the comment section on youtube for one the trailers with racist attacking it.

Yeah, that's why when the trailer dropped I didn't forget that this is still an issue for Hollywood. But if somehow they go that way I think fans of the book will notice, 20th Century Fox's 1st trailer isn't putting it out their that it's a romance, but when you Google the movie it says Drama/Romance, shadowandact put it out as a romance, so that's why I doubt they will try and Pelican Brief this.... but then again it's hollywood so you never know. That kissing scene could easily be deleted along with the love story angle.

But looking at the trailer and although I don't like judging by the trailer especially the first one, it doesn't seem interesting enough to go to the theatres and see. Hopefully the 2nd trailer or the movie itself is better.

Kenneth Branagh has a history of color blind casting. Branagh cast keanu reeves and denzel washington as brothers in Much Ado About Nothing and Idris Elba as Norse god Heimdall in Thor.

That actually was funny since Heimdall according to the mythology was the fairest of them all.

I hope so too. In some works when it comes to IR the book is better than the movie or vice versa.
