I wish we could've seen Scorsese and Denzel collab in the '90s :sadcam:
I agree. He could have did so great in Goodfellas if Stacks wasn't such a nothing character. Or even if it was expanded for Jackson.

not that I disagree with your point but who has really eaten off the star wars franchise thats not named harrison, that shyt aint an automatic meal ticket just ask hayden christenson. What dont know who that is? neither do most

:ld:Maybe so, but Star Wars is a huge franchise. That being on your resume could wonders for you, granted other things in your career are going well. It also depends on the actor themselves and whether they're going for movie roles or not, and that we'll never know. But I do know of Hayden. However, in big roles for certain films like this, I think women might eat better than men do. Hunger Games for example. You got Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. Both are co-stars, but Jennifer is the more loved one. Then you go to Harry Potter. Daniel Radcliffe. He's doing movies outside of Harry Potter, but how many people are going crazy after him now? Not many. (But if I'm wrong, I stand corrected.) So Lupita may have an advantage. But she'll be fine.

They better give Lupita the role of Shuri (T'Challa's sister) for the upcoming Black Panther film.

Her role in 12 years a slave was overhyped :manny:. She was great in the movie but Oscar worthy:yeshrug:. Glad a black woman won though.

It truly blows my mind that black people are still waiting to be let in. Black Hollywood could have been colossal by now.


a number of factors destroyed black hollywood.
plus, hollywood learned how to steal the action flick from us.
when, action flicks are the most profitable model outside of horror.
