In Variety's interview with Ridley Scott, the director of the blockbuster Exodus, he claims to have said: "I can't make a film with this budget, where I have to count on tax breaks in Spain, and to say that my main actor is Mohammed so-and-so from so-and-so I simply won't be able to finance it." Maybe if Scott chose another location to shoot his film, such as Hollywood, he wouldn't have to worry about financial problems with Spain. Not all filmmakers are like Mr. Scott, some have even apologized for casting white roles. Forbes reports that film company Lionsgate has issued an apology for their film Gods Of Egypt in which there is not a single Egyptian actor. Their statement quotes: “We recognize that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods represented. In this case we failed to meet our standards of sensitivity and diversity, for which we sincerely apologize. Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, we can and we will continue to do better." While casting Egyptian roles would be better than apologizing, it's refreshing to see a huge film company apologize for its casting and it's much better than Mr. Scott's.
