Oh, dear gods...

Because the writers for this site like to cry “WHITEWASHING” whenever they can.

As a human without a soul, fuck Theodore Beale.

There is only one clear choice:

Or Helen Mirren. She’s openly advocated for the role.

I bring it up every time and nobody takes me seriously. Dame Judi Dench. She could pull off anything.

Casting sorted.

Corpfes? <chew, chew> Wmee dinnf find any corpfes.

what’s the point?

So you’re telling me, all of us, that you haven’t seen the Queen in the North put some bitches in their place?

That we’re about to get a lavishly-produced studio science fiction film not based on an existing franchise or a hackneyed action plot, starring two enormously talented and appealing A-list stars and using a no-shit hard s.f. premise as its jumping off point, and most of the io9 readership is shitting on it is a pretty…
