Emmerich is such a dick. I think I spent half my time on Facebook yesterday talking about that interview.

His belief that being a gay white male director explains his changes is insane.

Look, J.J. Abrams is a gay white male director and is giving us a black storm trooper and a female storm trooper - in effect making a franchise much more diverse than it ever was before. And showed that in Alias that if a director really wants to they can insert gay white male actors into things seemlessly (Star Trek, Alias.)

Bryan Singer also seems to be able to handle diversity in his films.

Under teh logic Emmerich is using if he was tasked with making a MLK biopic he'd cast Neil Patrick Harris in the title role.

NPH would make an amazing MLK in a musical biopic.

I'm assuming it would be called "Dream!"

Yes!

My reaction to that quote: "so George Lucas is a whiny kid who grew up to be an evil childhood-ruining Sith Lord? This explains so much."

Yeah - or if he made a biopic of Shakespeare he'd insist the lead character had to be a gay man with lots of money.

I'd watch a gay version of King Lear or any of the Henrys.
