check out the trailer of Urban Myths, the new comedy series for Sky Arts, who treats with derision of urban myths about the stars. It gives a first glimpse of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson.
The urban myths die hard ! The series of Urban Myths, will offer a comic version of some events unusual about the life of stars, and in particular the moment where Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor fled across the United States, after the events of September 11, 2001.
The recruitment of a player in white, Joseph Fiennes, to play Michael Jackson, had provoked a wave of reactions, screaming at the Whitewashing. The fact that we choose a rather than an actor from the diversity didn’t like, and Fiennes was explained :
“If the film was promoting stereotypes, then I would disagree. I’ve been careful to ensure that the project does not go in this direction.”
Here is the judgment on the images :
The segment containing Michael Jackson will also review the decedent Carrie Fisher in a small role. Among other episodes, the one where Cary Grant initiates a doctor to LSD on the set of Death on the trail of Alfred Hitchcock, a funny encounter between Bob Dylan and a plumber, and the attempt of Adolf Hitler (played by Iwan Rheon aka Ramsay Bolton from Game of Thrones) to integrate a school of art.
The series begins on 19 January on Sky Arts.
The Whitewashing : why are we doing it yet ?
