He is 100% correct. The paradox that black filmmakers are in is perfectly summed up in this article. If spike lee makes a movie that flops no one wants to fund his next project. if Tarantino makes a movie that flops people just didnt get it White folks dont flock to theaters to see films like Red Tails After Earth or any black adventure type film. however we have no issue going to see to non black Action/adventure films Idris Elba has been mentioned to star a James Bond however the company that owns the rights are reluctant to cast him because they are afraid it wont be a successful project. We would love to FINALLY see a truly African film based around the history of Egypt However Hollywood wont take the financial risk of putting our black asses in front of their cameras. Dwayne The Rock Johnson could played ANY of the roles in this film.
