(ASSOCIATED PRESS) — The biblical film, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” has come under fire for casting white actors in the film’s main roles as Egyptians.
Some have even called for a boycott of the film through a variety of Internet campaigns.
But director Ridley Scott has a message for those trying to boycott the film: “I say get a life.”
Scott defended his casting decision at an “Exodus” premiere in Brooklyn on Sunday, saying he had to assemble the “best possible cast … on a budget of this scale.” The film cost an estimated $140 million.
