Jamie Foxx As Frank Sinatra?
May 18, 2009
After Leonardo DiCaprio and Harry Connick Jr. were among the top names rumored to be up for the role of Frank Sinatra, it now seems to be Jamie Foxx is the favorite to play Ol’ Blue Eyes. It was announced earlier this month that filmmaker Martin Scorsese will direct a biopic.
Foxx, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004’s Ray, reportedly has studio bosses convinced he has the charisma and talent to tackle the role of Sinatra, who died in 1998.
An insider tells Britain’s Daily Star:
“Jamie would seem to be born to the role. Magnificent voice, convincing acting ability - like Frank himself - born the wrong side of the tracks, makes it big against all odds, has his brush with authority. The guy’s a gift.”
Well that would be interesting now, wouldn’t it??? I think Leo would be PERFECT!!!

If Jamie Foxx plays Frank Sinatra I will refuse to see this movie. I
think the least they could do for such a historical performer would
be to do him justice in whoever plays his role. Of COURSE Jamie Foxx
thinks he would be perfect, he thinks he is perfect for everything!
Hopefully the total bombing of The Soloist will steer movie executives
away from him.

I blogged about this a few days ago, believing that someone at Yahoo News had lost his thread while typing the story.
But no. As I said in the aforementioned blog, Foxx must’ve been taking lunatic lessons from fellow brain donor Kanye West.
Jesus, I hate niggers.

Here ya go I have a terriffic idea, how’s about we all get together and do us a movie about
“Lady O” and we put Cameron Diaz in as the leading actress to play
Oprah, oh but then we might just upset us a few black people, oh no we
might even get them yacky broads like Whoopi going off on us, do I
care, “HELL NO” these idiots have lost their minds, its bad enough we
have the idiots in country music that I used to respect idolizing him
but to play Frank, good grief, someone get a clue, heaven help us, we
really have unleashed a huge mess, and in my opo it starts with the
prez, ever since he got elected little by little we no longer matter,
talk about the pot calling the kettle black! no pun intended…..

This is testing the population, let’s see how far we can push our Marxist see-no-colour, we-are-all-the-same crap. If we can have caucasians and others implicitly accept that there really are no important differences between the races, by being afraid to complain about ridiculous movie casting suggestions, then we truly are on the way to creating the first generation of true fuckwit drones.#
The fact that a thick cunt like Eric Bishop, sorry - Jamie Foxx - is a mivie star at all, speaks volumes about the manipulative nature of scumbag Hollywood. They hand-picked him as a ego-driven brainless coon who will do whatever dance his masters dictate.

I’m the whitest guy in the world, but I reckon I’ll try out for the lead in Spielberg’s forthcoming MLK biopic.
Wish me luck!

I think it’s funny. I don’t know why anyone is offended.
He’s not playing you! Jamie is playing Frank Sinatra. Duh! He is
black. Good observation. Musically Jamie is the better person
for this role. Of course they could search a little harder, but why?
No one takes their music serious like Jamie. In fact he doesn’t take
it serious, he’s just natural at it. But when it comes to style
Jamie and master any style he touches. He can alter his voice
tone to sound like anyone. IT’s a skill. He’s good at it. Leononardo
come on! He’s a good role for the acting part, maybe, but to protray
the entertainer in Frank, Leonardo can’t do it. Jamie can. Get over it
racists. Jamie’s got talent.

Kd140, you are possibly a brainless darkie, obviously sucked in by a lifetime of media ‘racism’ horseshit, and certainly have a hard-on for Jamie Foxx.
Racists LOL! So we all hate Jamie Foxx ‘cos we reckon it’s ridiculous for a nigger to portray a white wop in a movie?
No Kd, you are the eejit here. You aren’t thinking. You feel you must overlook race at all costs, having been scared into lefty twatism by the aforementioned media shite.
Fuck off and kill yourself, people like you make me roll my eyes.

Can these movie producers be more stupid? Is this supposed to help us get closer as society or something? There are realities in live a black person can not be passed as a white one and vice versa, is not racism, is about having eyes. Woody Harrelson may be a perfect fit for portraying Nelson Mandelathat doesn’t means I wanna see him on a movie about him. This only means one thing Martin Scorsese is getting fucking senile, don’t get afraid if you see him walking around with his dick hanging out he’s just getting old. I heard rumors that he’s releasing a new version of Shaka Zulu filmed entirely in the Swiss Alps with John Goodman as Shaka, I’m anxious about seeing that movie. I’m sure he’ll get the Oscar for this one.

All of you are so f**king racist. The only problem I see is Jamie doesn’t have blue eyes. Stop lying in your old nasty traditional ways and branch out, be open minded, so f**king what if he’s not white. Grow the hell up you guys.

Grow up? Hahahahahah!
Let me point something out here. Racism is not the issue, that is a smoke screen, a strawman.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together, realises instinctively that it’s utterly farcical for an actor of one race to play a character of another. Lunacy. Even Eric Bishop knows that.
That a handful of clowns have gotten on their soap boxes ranting about racism, dis[lays their own obsession with being fuckin’ black. Change the record, you boring thick cunts LOL!

WOW, alot of you guys are REALLY going in. Seriously, I’m black and I’m kinda confused why they picked jamie foxx too!
Now regardless of what everyone is saying jamie foxx is a damn good actor and he takes his craft very seriously but I don’t think him playing Ol’ Blue Eyes will work to well 9and I’m a frank sinatra fan myself). He’d be better suited to play Sammy Davis Jr.
And everyone who keeps saying “he’s BLACK!”, “He’s a FUCKING COON!”, and “He’s a DAMN NIGGER!” need to relax. That’s just uncalled for and if memory serves didn’t elizabeth taylor play cleopatra?
