Re: Wait, is there a live-action adaptation where Jimmy Olsen is a redhead?
(Anonymous) 2019-08-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)I'm not saying these people are correct. (I haven't read the story in like 35 years and trust your quotes.) I'm just saying what I've been seeing everywhere. Like this:

Which was posted by FB friends more than once.
But I still stick with my original statement that this is a Disney remake of a Disney property, so saying that the original doesn't have red hair doesn't seem like a gotcha to me. Especially as you point out that the original mentions white skin several times, which I did not remember, and which absolutely will be different in the remake.
I have no issue with the new casting. If Halle can sing and act well, she is already a step up from Emma's Belle. But to me, dismissing out of hand that this character did have an iconic look that is being replaced doesnt sit well. Yes, she is different; they are absolutely redoing the look. But different can be good, even in a remake.
