What would an urban Narnia movie even look like?

Yes. He almost managed to break off from the UK but then the Scots remembered that they are incredibly racist and executed him.

It's about Uganda. "The Last King of Scotland" was Idi Aman's nickname for himself, because he thought of Ugandans as the Scots of Africa.

Those are just movies with black people in them, I meant like the black Cinderella remakes etc.

Never seen it, so I can't say. But 5.4 IMDB rating. I dunno, bud.

It's mostly because people are butthurt that it is not as good as the original. It's funny if you haven't seen the original.

I haven't seen the original either! Perhaps I'll check out the black version first.

No, don't. It's essentially the original except it has black people, one liners, bad acting and references to Usher. Watch the 2007 original.

What is wrong with Usher?

Nothing's wrong with Usher, but he doesn't really belong in Death at a Funeral.

I like his DJ Got Us Falling in Love song even though I first heard of it from the Minecraft parody.

I imagine them casting Dave Chappelle as Mr. Tumnus, and it's not a pretty picture. Entertaining, but unsettling nonetheless.

Quite a few of the movies you listed aren't "black" in the sense that Ks meant.

It'd be good if it were totally made by black people, with a typical Hollywood budget.
We don't need more white-directed, white-produced blaxploitation flicks.

It would be funny if it was almost the same, except instead of going through the cupboard into Narnia they go through the cupboard into the hood.
