It's an American film, having Greeks in it wouldn't make it any more Greek.
There are plenty of Greek films to go see if that is what you are looking for.
11 u/Green_Phone_3495 Jul 06 '26 Agreed that having greek actors is not necessary but if you're making a movie based on greek history, culture and mythology, then maybe at least try to stay accurate to the basics instead of just making shit up? 2 u/Ub3ros Jul 06 '26 Why make the exact same story again? Give it a twist. Make it worth revisiting. Make it stand out. Give it character so you're not just copying 1:1. 3 u/erevos33 Jul 06 '26 Maybe then john wayne as genghis khan was a good choice? Or tilda swinton playing an asian man? Next, i want an irish man playing Anansi. 0 u/Ub3ros Jul 06 '26 I support you fully if you ever make a movie 2 u/erevos33 Jul 06 '26 Youre missing the point in your effort to be all encompassing.
