just… Goro Miyazaki starting his animation career with having a son kill his father, the king of a kingdom where magic is disappearing, and run away and Hayao (possibly ending) his career with a young boy refusing to take on his family’s powerful legacy over a magical world, knowing the world would die without him in favor of not abandoning his family and choosing to live contentedly in the mundane world…

ngl, Im disappointed that they’re remaking Interview with the Vampire.

right now all I know is they’re using a diverse cast, which... fine. But I want a different story told, AND THE INCLUSION of a diverse cast with that story.

Brad Pit, Tom Cruise, and Kirsten Dunst gave us iconic and memorable roles. But I want new actors to have a chance to take the idea of a character, and make it their own.

It’s always going to be “which Interview with the Vampire” you’re talking about. Or the unintentional rivalry between which role did you prefer? There will be new audiences and viewers who will accept the new cast for the role, but you still have the original for viewing and comparison. It’s not like the new movie will live in the shadow of a successor, but the predecessor film will exist to sort of ‘distract’ new viewers.

I might see it, but like I stand by, I want new stories adapted from books and actors cast for those roles to make their own.

One of the reasons we don’t see more of Ursula Le Guin and her books made into movies, is they always want to cast the wrong actors to play key roles - the usual white washing of poc. She’s not the only major author to have this issue, but she’s one of the best examples I can think of since these topics are not readily open to the public due to legalities for contracts and IPs.

Instead of retelling made for screen stories and doing the token prize “woke movement”, I want to see new stories and new actors to portray roles. Sure, people will want to see this novel re-envisioned for the big screen, but there are books written by poc with characters of color and varied backgrounds, rich culture, diverse and fresh themes to explore - and those deserve to have a spectacular story envisioned for audience and unrealized readers to engage with.

Some of this is purchasing rights to IPs, because it is hard for a studio with a track record of “white washing” poc characters, to purchase the rights and then do the story and its themes justice for the whole marketing algorithm.
