Chadwick Boseman to Star in Samurai Drama 'Yasuke'

[Starman]

I'm in.

Only westerner to achieve the rank of Samurai. No white or other black man did that and he did it under Oda Nobunaga who was Japan's greatest warlord

Yasuke - Wikipedia

I remember the video game Nobunaga's Ambition. I never played it, but I always thought it had a cool sound.

dont be mad when cac americans cast non ados as ados. Ados does not own hollywood.

 

[Apollo Creed]

An African should have been casted for this role, considering that ados dont want us playing them.

 

[MidniteJay]

Doug Miro tho... There's gonna be some kind of cac washing in there somewhere.

 

[Brer Dog]

Heard they were also doing an anime movie or something awhile back

‘Boondocks’ director gets another anime on Netflix

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Chadwick ain’t big enough physically for this role.

 

[Ribbs]

Jackie Robinson, James Brown, Thurgood Marshall and now Yasuke.

Can't wait.

Chadwick ain’t big enough physically for this role.

Everybody is too small for you guys

:yowhat: You telling me Hollywood magic can't deal with 2 inches? Boseman is 6'0 and Yasuke only got him by 2 inches. Is that a real issue in a movie where Boseman would still dwarf the Asian actors?

You know I was about to disagree with u but u right plus Im pretty sure them ancient japanese nikkas were like 5'8 at BEST so seeing a 6'2 african back then they were like they thought he was manute bol lol plus tom cruise tiny ass was made to look normal in the last samurai movie magic is movie magic

 

[Ironman]

@Nicole0416 we in there

 

[Primetime]

I wonder what type of budget this is gonna have. the story and premise alone is epic and deserves all the cinematic magic to capture the scenery, attire, battles, etc

 

[Black Samurai]

Chadwick ain’t big enough physically for this role.

They made 5'9" Tom Hardy look huge as Bane.

You know how this works. Can’t get funding in Hollywood without a proven entity.
