Forrest Whitaker to play the lead in "The Butler"

http://whogottherole.com/movie-tv-news/forest-whitaker-to-star-in-movie-the-butler/

shaking my head.

 

LOL. my goodness. lets see we had movies for being a driver, maids and now a butler in the white house....damn we are coming up in the world....thanks massa

 

ha ha hah! not a movie about the first black president but one about a butler.......smh

 

thats the truth.

 

Hmmm not sure how I feel about this.

The guy is an Oscar winner for crying out loud. He should be getting better roles than this shit.

Oh and he was awesome in Panic Room

 

So you're all basically saying that we should ignore the roles our ancestors had in history? If the man wants to play a butler, then let him. Maybe he liked the quality of the story and script.

 

he's goin to get an Oscar nom for this..sho'nuff

:shock:

 

:smt043:smt043:smt043

As the saying goes the more things change the more they stay the same.

Wonder how many "Boy" and "Yes Suh, Massa" we will hear uttered in this flick.

 

you can expect a lot of 'yes suh' and 'boy,' followed by the usual white guilt

if he does an authentic portrayal of a negro scrubbing a floor, or being beaten for looking at a white woman, he'll definitely win the oscar

how the fuck can we move forward if we keep moving backward? some people can't handle movies like these, and will shy away from white/black relations because of it.:?

you always hear about someone who hates white people, because of something they went through in the 1960s or some other ancient shit.

 

I think TDK is supposed to say that line. Didn't he ask last week why black actors only win when they are the servants?

 

we win when we're servants or drug dealing gangsters

gotta keep that status quo tight

 

Forest is better on the big screen

I hope he is better than he was in the Criminal Minds Spin off.

 

My favorite season of The Shield was when Forrest Whitaker was on it. He was so good. He made you hate his character so bad. Don't be bad mouthing him. :smt043

 

Maybe Forrest just decided to give in and play the game. Get an award then go back to playing the good stuff.

 

welp, classic kneegrow role

 

lmao

 

I would love he would play in the James Earl Jones role The Man.

 

When Tarintino's antebellum slave revolt movie drops, shit is really gonna explode!!
Whitaker must be having financial problems.

This cat won an Oscar playing Idi Amin.
Now he bussing chinaware??lol

 

lol i know right
