I read this entire article and can sum up why Miranda's original pitch f̶a̶i̶l̶e̶d̶ did not thrive in the studio system: He centered working class Latinx, avoiding A list names like Jennifer Lopez and didn't translate his idea into white studio exec speak to make it palatable.https://twitter.com/IndieWire/status/1404410792502468619 …
I want you all to understand that "white washing" projects is exactly what gets many of them greenlit. Too many of us have to center whiteness at every step of this process in order to secure financing. This industry, especially the studios, needs an overhaul.
Lulu Wang has spoken about coming up against this when she was trying to get The Farewell made -https://www.indiewire.com/2019/07/the-farewell-lulu-wang-interview-a24-1202158932/ …
Yessss and it does take projects that refuse to do it a bit longer sometimes but damn is it worth the wait to tell the truth.
What pisses me off is that white people are so fkn ungrateful & have no appreciation for all the gatekeeping & bullshittery that’s done to center them in every story. Notice how the industry have now all but erased black women from the lives of other black characters?pic.twitter.com/wcdEj4CvdH
I was kinda surprised Jennifer Lopez wasn’t involved but this was a good read.
ala Hidden Figures.
That's why Lin Manual Miranda is so popular.
I’m sure the powers that be are absolutely fine with Lin taking the heat for casting too since we all know his name and we don’t know theirs. It’s fucked.
