Black Man Attempts to be in Young Adult Book-Movie therefore doomed to failure



Romeo Miller says he’s auditioning for a role in ‘Divergent’ today

He’s no Kate Winslet, but Romeo Miller (known to many as Lil’ Romeo) revealed via Twitter today that he’s having a meeting for a role in the Divergent movie.

Wrote the rapper on Twitter:





His hashtag may suggest he’s attempting to join the cast as someone in the Dauntless faction. A note posted to his Instagram offers a little more background info:

“10 months ago Mike Pasternak told me about this project “Divergent”. Little did he know that I was a big fan of the book already! This day – TODAY – I am going in to a meeting for this amazing project! Must say out of evertyhing I’ve accomplished, that this day – TODAY I am the most excited. Always dream big and be FEARLESS! #dauntless”

One possible opening for Miller may be Uriah, who is described as tall and handsome in the books.

Filming for the Divergent movie is set to begin in just two months. Despite this, the only confirmed actress so far is Shailene Woodley, who will star as Tris.

Summit did confirm in recent weeks that Kate Winslet is in talks for a role.

An open casting call is being held in Chicago Saturday, February 9. Divergent opens March 21, 2014.

Who do you think Miller could be playing? A quick check of his film history shows that, if he gets the role, it’d be his biggest film to date.

either he's too black, or they'll have him play a black 'noble savage' type. Stay classy Hollywood

it's easy to read and it ends without a huge cliffhanger. so it's tidy like that
angelgurl21 6th-Feb-2013 02:56 am (UTC)
I thought it was interesting. A decent YA novel, nothing groundbreaking but fun to read. I read the 2 books in 2 days
bodylikemind 6th-Feb-2013 02:58 am (UTC)
i thought it was a fun, quick read. not amazing or groundbreaking but it sucked me in while i read and that was enough to keep me interested

#dauntless

Aw. Lol. He really wants this.

And although Divergent had a few hot mess moments, I do remember Roth pointing out some characters as POC sooo we'll see.
wickedwatch 6th-Feb-2013 06:27 am (UTC)
There are quite a bit aren't they? And Four's mother is POC, but no doubt they are whitewashing Four
starlysh 6th-Feb-2013 01:59 am (UTC)
This book has so many characters, it was hard to remember them all in the second book, which I even read directly after the first one.

He seems passionate about the movie being made and is a fan and I like that in an actor in movies based on books.
yououghtaknow 6th-Feb-2013 01:59 am (UTC)
