No, not the East African pharaoh. Boycott the full-length movie planned for release in 2013 starring Angelina Jolie.
Movie critic Mike Fleming of Deadline say Jolie is a “perfect fit” for the role because she may be the only actor popular enough to get the film noticed by financiers and audiences alike. However, the movie’s critics have said that they would’ve been happy with Beyonce or even Halle Berry. Though Jolie is not African-American, blacks are more so angered about her in the role since three previous Hollywood films about the Egyptian queen starred white actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Claudette Colbert and Vivian Leigh in 1963, 1934 and 1945, respectively.
