If True...LAME!

Sylvester Stallone has been set for sometime for a new film called Headshot. He'd play an assassin who makes an unwilling and uneasy alliance with a cop - each wants to track down the people responsible for killing their partners.

It's designed to be a throwback to Lethal Weapon, 80's style, buddy action flicks. It's gonna be directed by Walter Hill, who brought us 48 Hrs.

Not too long ago it was reported that Thomas Jane, probably most well known for roles in The Punisher and Deep Blue Sea, had been cast as the cop.

But apparently he may not be right for the part. Apparently he's too...white.

You see, according to this scoop, since Warner Bros.' Dark Castle banner got involved, they want "Jane replaced with someone more “ethnic” in order to meet an in-house formula-for-success." Jane is still the preferred choice of Hill and Stallone.


Is this not racism, bros? Would it be better for the studio if Jane grew a handlebar mustache, wore a sombrero and strapped on a bandolero?
