Scott, Bale defend 'Exodus' casting By Associated Press Published: 08:24 EST, 8 December 2014 | Updated: 08:24 EST, 8 December 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — The biblical film "Exodus: Gods and Kings" has come under fire for white actors being cast in the main roles as Egyptians.
But director Ridley Scott has a message for those trying to boycott the movie: "I say, 'Get a life.'"
Scott said he had to assemble the "best possible cast ... on a budget of this scale." The film cost an estimated $140 million.

Actor Christian Bale supported his director, saying working with him was "a true partnership."
Bale said he was surprised when Scott wanted to cast him as Moses.
"Then I did some research and just found it to be too fascinating to pass it up," he said.
The Oscar-winning actor understands the controversy over the film's casting choices, though he sees the business side of it.
"No doubt it would have been a melting pot between Europe and the Middle East and North Africa," Bale said.
But he praised Scott for doing what was needed to finance the movie.
"He's been incredibly honest in getting a large, big-budget film like this made," he said.
Bale was alluding to the fact that investors feel safer with big-name actors.
"I don't think fingers should be pointed, but we should all look at ourselves and say, 'Are we supporting wonderful actors in films by North African and Middle Eastern filmmakers and actors, because there are some fantastic actors out there," Bale said.
He said he feels audiences can help international actors who are lesser known in the Western world get cast in major films.
"If people start supporting those films more and more, then financiers in the market will follow," Bale said.
"The audience has to show financiers that they will be there, and (then) they could make a large budget film."
Bale said the time will come when another film about Moses will be cast with a North African or Middle Eastern actor.
"To me that would be a day of celebration. For the actors it would be wonderful. It would be a wonderful day for humanity, but also for films and for storytelling in general," he said.

If the boycott is successful, then they (the media Jews) will never do this again. Propagating the racial and religious falsehoods is not worth Loosing money.

Since Jews are only 2% of the American population then the media should be handed over, 70% to regular non-Jewish white people 13% blacks but only 2% to Jews Non-Jewish albinos are more sensitive to black folk. Ridley Scott is only doing what Jews told him to do. You know if it was up to him he would have had Rameses and Moses as black, real talk

That's not true Doxie, there are plenty of parts that European Albinos could play.
See how nice Black people are when you know your place?

Mike, exactly what do you think White people's place is pray do tell?
So you think that the only parts Whites should be able to play is that of a slave or captive of a Black or a dang zombie?

middle easterners? North Africans will be casted in other movies?
These lowlife scum know exactly what they are doing. And why the movie is being boycotted. Its not because people want to see middle easterners and majority of north africans who dress up from head to toe in long clothes to survive the sun.
Its the people from the tomb paintings working barebacked in the sun because they have coloured skin. It's simple Black Africans. I hope people like christian bale who I will hesitate to watch another movie that this smug coward slave of the system does. I should not be so harsh on him really after all he just repeating what his masters tell him OBEY. He seems like the perfect dog for his handlers must of got a good treat from his masters for his comments about Egypt being a Melting pot....Its like these people who peddle white supremacy are so desperate to divide the people on racial lines that they make comments they KNOW are not the real reason why people are boycotting White supremacy Egypt.
christian bale=slave to the system? or white supremacist defender willingly?
Also notice how desperate white supremacy is getting now that they try and include North Africans and middle easeterners. There telling them please defend our system. There great to north africans in europe right? Just ask the French North Africans and Italian north africans:
North African children in detention center in Italy lampdeusa:
End of Europe without borders? Row over African immigrants threatens free travel
So great for the muslims in north africa, they can get kicked out of europe, degraded, Forced to unburka in france before I post this from wiki, wiki states less then 2000 women in france wear the burka, but all veils have been banned also
French ban on face covering
As of 11 April 2011, it is illegal to wear a face-covering veil or other mask in public places such as the street, shops, museums, public transportation, and parks. Veils such as the chador, scarves and other headwear that do not cover the face, are not affected by this law and can be worn.[4] The law applies to all citizens, including men and non-Muslims, who may not cover their face in public except where specifically provided by law (such as motor-bike riders and safety workers) and during established occasional events (such as some carnivals). The law imposes a fine of up to €150, and/or participation in citizenship education, for those who violate the law.[5][6] The bill also penalises, with a fine of €30,000 and one year in prison, anyone who forces (by violence, threats or by abuse of power) another to wear face coverings; these penalties may be doubled if the victim is under the age of 18.[1][5][7]
What love for muslims man , Sadly though knowing muslims they will be all but eager to join white supremacy, too bad for them it will be in North Africa when they all get kicked out of Europe. Also its stated that 50% of immigrants lose there language in France because unlike Canada, France FORCES these people to conform to france or leave. "white power" right North Africans? Thats what you want right? So defend these racist scum supremacist who use you and abuse you for there purpose, and when they are done with you discard you like trash meant to be destroyed. Hey North africans christian bale included you in egypt, called it a melting pot for Europe, Middle east and North Africans. HEY north Africans, the whites threw you a bone. Are you gonna gobble it up or tell them where they can put there bone?
Just ask the Native Americans in USA who signed peace treaty's with the europeans, how men of there word they are.

If I'm wrong then pray do tell what you would have so called "White supremacy" replaced by??

Doxie replace white supremacy with a All Life matters, What I mean is that every country realizes all the people deserve a chance at a life of normalcy. Adults in rural areas get as much monetary value to harvest the food. Invest in farming because its farmers that feed the nations.
Children stay there age, meaning it should be jail for any parent sending there children to work(chores excluded), Let them play and explore there areas. Children should all have 3 square meals a day whether they live in the city or outside the city. Its up to the leaders to travel and make sure they give food to parents to feed the children. A child with a full belly fulfills his her potential more often then not. Food is a right
Rich people give 30-40% of there wealth to the government to distribute to the have not communties in there countries.
Create fair and equal media, where one ethnic group does not become overrepresented on TV but showcases all the people groups in that country.
Talk more about preserving the wildlife and earth plants etc. Show the people that God made us caretakers of this planet and respect and build and protect the water, land and animals.
Teach about the Most High and Jesus Christ in schools again(Especially the west) so the children know about there Heavenly father that Loves them and all people.
Show respect for Ancient Civilizations from each continent and that jail time for not using at least 80% of the People decended orignally from said continent. That Way Black Africans Portray Egyptians, Black Indians portray Harrappan civilization. Native AMericans play Ancient Americans not no 1/8th whites who look no differnt then the europeans. Who wants to see jonny depp as Tonto????
decrease prostitution extremly, There is no happiness in that profession it makes women feel like they are just slabs of meat to be used and abused by mens lust. Women should be freely educated in there bodie being a temple of honour and that they should feel no force to reveal themselves to men but make men love them for there personality, heart, and being the completion of man and not as a sex object.
Teach police that they serve the people and not the other way around. Jail for every Child killer policeman regardless if the child has a weapon or not. No excuse for shooting children.
Free childcare for every single parent in the west, In the 3rd world countries create exclusive parks for children like in The Philippines No child should be around a garbage fill playing. 1st world countries should invest heavily in India, Philippines etc to clean up the dumps and rivers that these children play in and transform them into PARKS, water parks AND REC CENTERS FOR THEM. Failure by the corrupters in these countries to do that by a set time, means the corrupters get blasted as a country that endangers children and values money and greed over there own youth, and ban all tourist from going there, continue working with these countries to put there children safety and health 1st. You shouldn't attack them, but educate and teach them that Money is not worth more then the happiness of their children.
look at this article showing how disturbed is some countries that they careless for there children.
These Disturbing Photos Of Children Playing In Garbage Show Just How Bad Pollution Can Be
I agree with everything you just wrote except I think the rich should have to give half of their wealth. Just think if all the world's wealthy gave a portion of their wealth there would be no children starving children anywhere. Also no more water bills, they shouldn't exist as water is something that all people need to live. BTW King, you do know as Lioness has already posted once, children can shoot you just as dead with a gun or stab you just as dead with a knife. Why do you think adults use innocent children as suicide bombers, child soldiers, etc because they know people are less likely to suspect a child or kill a child even to defend their own selves. What are people supposed to do let a child who was trained with hatred & brainwashed as a child soldier take their lives?

Stop the problem before it happens. Treat those who recruit children as suicide bombers, child soldiers etc as child killers. Life in jail, no parole, and tell all the inmates in the jail that these people are abusers of children for money and power.
All children with guns in the 1st world nations RUN and Hide, if your police hide in your cars or behind them and use a speakerphone to talk down the child ask him why he is doing this and tell him positive things. children are normally happy, appeal to that, that fails BACK OFF until an Police Man armored from head to foot can get close enough to disarm the child. Cordoned off the area so the child can't hurt no one keep the police at bay. Contain the youth in a area. Child soldiers, If your facing them in Africa and Asia non lethal weapons, bean bags, nets, What I mean is that get some machine to shoot a Huge net on the child where he is tangled up and disarm and reeducated them from the evil worthless cowards who recruited him in the 1st place.
