I don't have a problem with that, except it sounds kinda cliche for a black/Latino junkie. Plus he won't be a honkey mofo anymore and won't be as impactful when he hooks up with detta. As I said there are some things you can change and the makeup of Roland's Ka-tet isn't one of them.How would you feel about a latino or black Eddie?
you should have read It multiple times, there is no grammar school bukkake, not even a gangbang technically. yeah Beverly took a bunch of dicks, but it was'nt simultaneous and she didnt get poz loads from every one of the loser's club. i think only from Bill Denbrough. Butch Bowers didnt suck off anyone, certainly not Patrick Hockstetter (not his BFF either). Bowers's gang was lighting farts in the junkyard and Belch and Victor had to leave. Bowers and Hockstetter stayed behind to light farts. hockstetter says something like, wanna try something and he proceeds to jack off butch. patrick then offers to blow bowers and then bowers realizes patrick is being a faggot and beats him up. hockstetter says that he liked it. bowers says that he didnt and if patrick told anyone, bowers would tell the cops about patrick and his refrigerators.I mean... you folks aren't expecting a 30 movie series where they retell the books word perfect on the big screen right? I'm sorry, Detta isn't going to be Detta. Because there's absolutely zero fucking chance it comes off as anything but caricature. There are other worlds than these motherfuckers. It's going to be the same basic story, in the same basic setting, and hit the same basic high notes. But it's going to be different so stop getting your panties in a fucking wad. I've read TDT multiple times. It had high points. It has some low, low, LOW points. LotR this is fucking not.
There wasn't a grammar school bukkake in IT. There wasn't a mildly retarded early teen sucking off his fucked in the head BFF in IT. Some of this shit is going to have to hit the cutting room floor. We're probably not going to see Jake get raped by a ghost. Chances are Mordred "may" have an origin that strays from "Roland cums in a ghost after it tries to rape Jake so that it tells him sekretz then the ghost turns into a man ghost and rapes the shit out of the black lady while she calls it a honkey mah'fa and puts Rolands semen that is now spider demon semen into her then she gets pregnant and eats frogs and shit because reasons but instead of having the roland spider demon baby from the ghost/roland rape semen theres a machine and it puts her baby in this other lady which is kind of awesome actually since the baby murders the shit out of its new mom. Also it's psychic. And kills Flagg. WIth mind powers then it eats him. When its like 10 minutes old.". I mean maybe they go that route but honestly I hope not. Because that shit is retarded. A LOT of the shit in TDT is retarded. I'm quite happy with cutting 90% of the bullshit to tell the 10% left over that is a damn good story in an amazing world.
Black Gunslinger in Black House. "Magic black man" at the same time.you should have read It multiple times, there is no grammar school bukkake, not even a gangbang technically. yeah Beverly took a bunch of dicks, but it was'nt simultaneous and she didnt get poz loads from every one of the loser's club. i think only from Bill Denbrough.

yeah lots of stuff from king novels ends up on the cutting room floor, but thats usually ok as long as they get the basics right. sure, casting a black guy for Red in shawshank instead of a white guy in the novella was different, but the story wasnt really about Red, it was about Andy, from the PoV of Red. and also Morgan Freeman utterly killed that role.
i like Elba and i think he easily has the acting ability to pull off some of Roland's scenes, but he is horribly miscast physically for the role, too old, too fat and in this scenario it doesnt work for a black man. black people are super rare in roland's world. imagine how morgan freeman was treated in kevin costner's robin hood. they thought he was some kind of strange creature. its the same with Gilead. Garlan is the only place known to have "dark skinned" people and thats way the fuck away from New Canaan.
