Or at least black British actors who have already indicated in so many words "they're sick of talking about race"

What is the deal with the movie? It looks interesting. I mean I don't care if he likes casting British actors. Maybe he does it cause it is easier? I would imagine they are more expensive though.

Why would you Black British actors in an American movie when you could use Black American actors?

Yeah that's what I don't understand.

ESPECIALLY...
when you are telling stories about foundational black Americans. (descendants of slaves)
you're telling me, you couldn't find one American black to play the lead in "GET OUT"?

No idea. I know nothing about acting or cast. Maybe he has a thing for British people

I've since watched this movie twice. Once with some work friends, and just recently with my brother and nephew. It's one of my favorite movies of 2022 and by far my favorite of Jordan Peel's work.

If you haven't watched it yet, it's probably in the top three for me this year. I actually felt a bit of fear watching it too, which I normally don't have when it comes to horror movies. I think it's just the idea of a "UFO" being a reality and not knowing what to do to defend yourself against it.

But yeah, I really enjoyed this movie and will likely re-watch it once it comes out digitally.
