chad-hunter:cloudfreed:sodomymcscurvylegs:withgreatpowercomesgreatcomics:Zoe Kravitz Couldn’t Get An Audition For ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Because She’s “Urban”In the past several years, Zoë Kravitz has been climbing up the Hollywood food chain, nabbing roles in X-Men: First Class, Divergent, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Dope. But there is one high-profile film she couldn’t even get an audition for: Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012). “In the last Batman movie [The Dark Knight Rises], they told me that I couldn’t get an audition for a small role they were casting because they weren’t ‘going urban,’” Kravitz told Nylon. “It was like, ‘What does that have to do with anything?’ I have to play the role like, ‘Yo, what’s up, Batman? What’s going on wit chu?’”Which “small role” is Kravitz referring to? Best guess: ‘Jen,’ the pickpocketing flatmate and best friend of Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway), which eventually went to British actress Juno Temple (Horns).???She’s an actress. She wants to act. It doesn’t matter how she dresses normally or looks normally. The point is to play a character, so telling her she’s too “urban” is the biggest load of shit. This is coded racism, TBH.What’s worse is Gotham IS BY DEFINITION an urban environment. All Batman movies are urban! BATMAN IS URBAN. Definitely 100% coded racism.It’s a Christopher Nolan movie is anyone really surprised? -- source link
