  Well not particularly happy with this choice but at least they didn't cast a white actress.

  Zoe is not a good actress. Mediocre at best, and yes I have seen projects she has been in and was disappointed with her lack luster performances each time. The only reason this girl is getting to work so much is because of who her parents are, otherwise she would be like every other struggling black or mixed actress trying to catch a break. Shameful.

  She's genuinely not talented enough or trained enough for the high profile roles she has gotten. If she were darker, and her parents weren't famous, I, honest to God, believe she would not be getting these roles. I've seen most of her films and her skills are limited, or she's still quite green. Either way, not enough range to be in all these big movies. But, kudos to her, even only if because of her parents, for being the closest thing to a successful 20 something actress who is black/part black.

  Haven't read the book so I'm not familiar with the character description, but Zoe has two Black parents. Also, I'm glad to see her making strategic choices with her acting career.

  I read the book. Meh. I had pictured Christina differently, with dark skin and very strong, but, Zoe will suffice.

  I agree, in the book it says Christina's skin is dark brown so I pictured someone young with kerry washington's skin tone...leave it up to Hollywood to take a black female character and
  "whiteten" it up.

  IN THE BOOK THE CHARACTER IS A DARK SKINNED AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRL. ZOE IS LIKE 1/4 BLACK THIS IS AWFUL CASTING. NOT SEEING THIS MOVIE.

  Zoe's parents are Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. Two biracial(half black/half white) people. So if Zoe is anything she is 1/2 black not 1/4. But with that being said it would be nice if people who are more than half black can get cast as characters that are more than half black. I guess to Hollywood half white if half right.
