@AVAETC its tradition to rob African ppl of Egypt's history. this production couldnt change that yet if they tried
This kind of apology never happens - for something that happens all the time. An unusual occurrence worth noting.https://twitter.com/deadline/status/670336302705803264 …

@AVAETC This is bullshit, though. They knew damn well what they were doing, and the film is still getting released. It’s a sorry-not-sorry. -
@AVAETC@wkamaubell@Deadline He should be apologizing for his laziness/ignorance/being out of touch. -
@AVAETC@ninaturner@Deadline what they did was not an accident. The issue isn't "lack of diversity. " The issue is complete erasure. -
@AVAETC@wkamaubell lionsgate, you keep saying "deeply committed". I do not think that means what you think it means. -
@AVAETC a real apology would be to scrap the movie or recast and reshoot the movie -
@AVAETC And it almost never happens BEFORE the movie opens. -
-
@AVAETC Hate to be so cynical, but THR managed to position themselves as victims & got almost no blowback from that cover. Publicists learn -
@DavidPoland@AVAETC Wait, someone in Hollywood said/did something sexist and/or racist, then played victim card? No way. -
@JoeLeydon It the pre-staging of the apology that's new -
@DavidPoland@JoeLeydon The discussions around it were a net positive, but THR was a bit disingenuous.

@AVAETC Certain 180 from Exodus. Still would have loved to see them note this as they were making the film. -
-
@AVAETC@cfgodwell@Deadline This is insincere backpedalling. This is craven PR bullshit. Nothing more. -
@thechicoleo@AVAETC@Deadline absolutely what it is. Holds no weight nor sincerity. They're adults. They knew what they did.#GodsOfEgypt

@AVAETC yes, but it'd be nice if they had this epiphany before releasing (or even shooting) it. Gerrard doesn't pass for Egyptian @ any time -
