About That Popular 'Black Films Don't Sell ...Watch A Bunch Of Apes Go Wild In 3 New Clips From "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
So, I think from this first clip we can guess that co-star David Oyelowo succumbs to the "brotha rule;" ie, he probably dies before the movie ends, and at the hand of apes. But he's a 'bad corporate guy" here, so...
Then again, maybe he has a cathartic moment, and realizes the error of his capitalist ways and repents, and in the end is saved by Madea :)
The movie hits theaters August 5, 2011. Watch the 3 clips below (I'm still going to pass on this one):

But sensitive James Franco warned David Oyelwo, so he should have known better. White liberal heroes can only do so much to save wayward brothers.....
Oh hollywood.

Too much PC is bad for film. Can't win no matter what with the Pc obesessed.
Had James Franco's character had been black...then some black folk would say "Hey, why they making the brother the scape goat for making the apes smart and then causing the end of the world. See, black folk can't be trusted in science or anything else. blah, blah, blah."
So either way, there would be complaints.
I'm still waiting for the "apes represent blacks folks taking over" metaphors to be posted.
