John Singleton, former wunderkind director of “Boyz in the Hood”, thinks the reason that Hollywood hasn’t given him the dough to make “Luke Cage” is because Cage is a black superhero, and Hollywood studios are skittish around a black dude in tights. Says Singleton about the delayed project to ComicBookMovie.com: “Well, because it’s a black superhero and so studios still, some studios, don’t understand that yeah, it is a black superhero but so what? He’s a superhero. That hasn’t been done yet. Like I said, unless it’s right, I ain’t gonna do it.” Tyrese Gibson (”2 Fast 2 Furious”) is attached to star as the titular brother with powers.
Personally, I buy that Hollywood studios are filled with a bunch of racist jackoffs. A “Luke Cage” movie would be twice as good as that Godawful “Punisher” piece of crap.
“I pity the fool that doesn’t want to make a Luke Cage movie! Oh, and — Biiiiotch!”
