I mean it was supposed to go with thandie Newton but there were scheduling conflicts so they gave her part to Lucy Liu
thandie newton recently said they were basically trying to stereotype her so she passed

Really wow ?? In this video here it saos cause she was still shooting mission impossible   They also gave it to Jada too but she passed and also Aaliyah but they said she was too young

I need to find the recent interview with Thandie when she laid it all out there and even read Amy Pascal (who was in charge of Columbia Pictures in some capacity at the time)
I am scarred, so fucking scarred
These are the scars of me
The very fucking scars of me
This is my tragic heart
My tragic heart

-Me "Tragic Heart"

ophababes.

The director said to me, 'I can't wait for this. The first shot is going to be...You're going to think it's like yellow lines down a road, and you pull back and you realize it's the stitching, because the denim is so tight on your ass it's going to look like tarmac.' I was like, 'Oh, I don't think we're going to go down this road together.'"

Newton also revealed that Sony executive Amy Pascal didn't think she would be "believable" in the role because Alex "went to university and is educated." Newton reminded Pascal that she attended Cambridge, but the actress said Pascal responded to her by saying, 'Yeah, but you're different. Maybe there could be a scene where you're in a bar and she gets up on a table and starts shaking her booty.' She's basically reeling off these stereotypes of how to be more convincing as a Black character."

"The feedback that I received from my agent was, ' just looked too old and sophisticated to be next to Drew,'" Long claimed in a new interview with Insider.

Quote
Continuing, Long said:

"I love Drew Barrymore, I think she's amazing, but I think that was just a nice way to say you're a little too Black. Personally, that's what I think. Because if you notice there were no brown skin [actors]. I mean, honestly, I would have been the blackest thing in the film."

Quote
Concluding, she stated:

"...that was clearly not the job and opportunity for me. So, no problem, I'll keep it moving."
ummm ..... why did she flip the words

They said you were OLD hun :uhh:

No. Thandie turned it down because she didn't like the way the director was sexualizing her
