Date: 2012-10-24 03:41 pm (UTC)These are pics from the "Cloud Atlas" movie that's coming out. The story is about a group of 'souls' that get reincarnated over and over, so the Wachowskis decided to just cast the same actors each time around. So you have Halle Berry and Doona Bae playing white characters at some times, and whats-his-face there, the white guy, as a Korean character during the part that takes place in future-Korea. And I think Hugo Weaving plays a woman at one point too.
You would think that given the ugly history of brownface & yellowface in movies they would have told the actors not to say stupid things that would piss off people *already* justifiably skeptical that this could be anything but a train wreck... but whats-his-face there has already made some stupid tweets. So, not a good sign there.
