Quentin Tarantino Didn’t Cast Idris Elba in ‘Django Unchained’ to Avoid ‘Phony Accents’ in the Film

I actually don't think Jamie is good actor.
I think I would have preferred Idris in that role.

Jamie is good at sitcom.
Not big screen.

Somebody never watched "Ray"

He was horrible in that too.

Will smith turned down some major roles in his time, but a quentin tarentino movie should be a layup. Dude must have a terrible agent or he doesn't actually watch movies himself to know what films have been popular in the realm of pop culture.

Will turned down a role as morphios in the matrix to do wild wild west. His agent aint shyt.

Foxx is great at impersonations not acting. He has been impersonating Ray Charles and Mike Tyson since early 90's In Living Color.

I guess he thinks Idris is out acting Sam Jackson

Wasn't my point at all but go ahead and cook. Idris is out acting Jamie Foxx. Idris was better in "Harder They Fall"

Jamie's Oscar said it was a sympathy award.

I couldn't tell if Jamie was impersonating a blind man or a retarded person.

Nah. Britons and Germans were the Mexicans of antiquity

I've always said one of the weirdest and funniest things ever in cinema is in movies about Ancient Rome you have these people portraying Romans while using a British Accent

Like if you understand history you know how dumb that is lol

Lmao...nah the worst was ANDOR, which takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, and everyone has a British accent, regardless of class of demographic. fukk star wars.
