And in today's episode of
Let's Cast More White People in POC Roles:
The Chinese animated film
Little Door Gods is receiving the Weinstein treatment. Retitled
The Guardian Brothers, the movie focuses on two door guardian brothers as they deal with a fading
Spirit world due to people no longer believing in it. One of the brothers seek employment in the human world (possibly) at a generations old wonton soup shop run by a mother, Kidman, and daughter,
Zendaya Bella Thorne, duo.
Meryl Streep narrates. It is unclear if she, or the white actors portraying
Chinese characters in the movie will have an accent.
Zendaya was originally tapped to voice the daughter but dropped out of the project. She was replaced with her Shake it Out castmate, Thorne.
Randall Park, Fresh off the Boat, apparently is attached to the project. I guess AN Asian, despite being a different ethnicity, is better than none at all for this Chinese project.
TL;DR more white washing in Hollywood.
