The fuss over "I haven't seen an Englishman take a blow like that since" Hugh Grant's casting as an Oompa-Loompa in the latest version of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory swirls on.
Ralph Fiennes was so right when he told FNN: Would that it were so simple.
Because today's casting decisions are decidely complex.
Take Disney's remake of Snow White - aka Mocha and the Seven Dorks - complete with non-dwarfist dwarves.
Lead role Mocha is not interested in securing her cis Prince Charming, who will eventually become a 'pale and stale' old white man, but in becoming a leader. So she finds a bunch of dorks to try out her leadership skills on and an evil queen to manage her wardrobe.
And then there's the Lost Boys in the Peter Pan remake (clue: they are not all boys anymore and it's not PC to call Tinkerbell a "fairy").
FNN looks forward to the remake of Pinocchio when it will also not be so simple to cast the lead role of the wooden puppet boy given there are so many potential A-list candidates.
Although Ryan Gosling must be in the frame after his recent success as Ken in Barbie.
