Sounds like CULTURAL APPROPRIATION to me

Well, it will be interesting to see Fagin portrayed as an Aryan Male.

Do Jews really like having to play Fagin over and over again?

Some would say Dickens appropriated from them.

Maybe even Lionel Bart and Ron Moody would have liked to see a gentile play the role every once in a while.

The movie won't be very good.

But then what is?

90% of everything is garbage.

I predict with 100 percent certainty that this remake with a black rapper Fagin will BOMB, just like the terrible remake of Ben Hur bombed. The 1968 version of Oliver! was sheer perfection, it cannot be improved upon. Ron Moody(RIP) is the one and only true Fagin, he owned and still owns the role. He will always own the role, he IS Fagin.

The black remake of Annie was a spectacularly inferior remake, another very BAD idea. Lots of leftard money was lost, bwah hah hah.

I love it when Hollywood scum studios lose millions and millions of dollars.

We missed out on getting a 60s Chess Records full adaptation back in the day but here is Billy Stewart’s contribution “Summertime”

They could’ve had Ramsey Lewis Trio, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Fontella Bass, Bo Diddley, and others

Until they do an anti-FDR adaptation of Little Orphan Annie, they are all false.

I'd rather see John Lydon as Fagin. He was cast to play Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar a few years ago but that lavish show closed before it opened.

Just think, he could play the thing as a lampoon of the Sex Pistols' own dishonest mentor/manager/ringleader Malcolm McClaren.

They remade the Wizard of Oz with Michael Jackson.
That bombed and so will this version.

Ice Cube is killing his street cred.

Not to keep repeating myself, but every time I see this ping or a “gays on Star Trek” ping, etc. I smile that I’ve disconnected from “The Social Marxist Borg” and cancelled cable and pretty much stopped going to the movies entirely.

It’s so bad that’s it’s not funny, at least not anymore.
