Straight Outta Compton‘s Casting Stereotypes
The casting call sheet for the upcoming NWA biopic leaked online and while some sites are claiming that the stereotypes they’re asking for is wrongful, people forget all casting calls are like this.
CelebNMusic247.com has been on enough films and casting calls that we realize that this is what Straight Outta Compton needs for the period piece film. It may seem offensive but it’s honest, real and this is the best way to get the type of women they need for the film – they were just a little to blunt, but hey its the guys from N.W.A.
Did you think the members of N.W.A. changed just because they went on to bigger and better things? Same men, same way of thinking. – remember a cheetah doesn’t change his spots.
We got the drop from Gawker, who got their hands on the following casting call notice and are trying to make something out of nothing:
