George Clooney’s remake of French political drama series The Bureau has officially found its lead. Michael Fassbender is now confirmed to star in the series, which is now known as The Agency, having previously been titled The Department. Fassbender will also exec produce alongside Clooney and Grant Heslov through their Smokehouse Pictures banner. Given a straight-to-series at Showtime in 2023, The Department will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime later this year. The series follows Martian (Fassbender), a covert CIA agent ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage. deadline.com/2024/06/michael-fassbender-paramount-remake-the-bureau-1235981733/ |

The original French series is absolutely phenomenal (at least season 1 to season 3 are), but I have no faith in this at all. The genius of the French series lies in the fact that it incorporated deep, well-written characters into what France/Europe was experiencing in the 2010s (Syrian Civil War, terrorist attacks in Europe, war in eastern Ukraine, French engagement in the Middle East and Africa etc.), and did it extremely authentically and unpretentiously. They also weren't afraid to go into the uncomfortable nuances of religious ideologies and cultural differences, which Hollywood categorically refuses to get involved in because THAT'S BIGOTED.
I bet they wouldn't even dare have any brown actor play a terrorist in this series given the godawful political climate in Hollywood these days, lol.

Racism against brown people in Hollywood, mostly Muslims and Arabs is going to go back to what it was like before Trump got elected. Both major political parties are competing to be the bigger genocidal racists against Palestinians. Trump used Palestinian as an insult in the debate. Biden is actively funding an extermination of an entire group of people, and people in Hollywood who support the extermination have suffered zero consequences for their Hitlerite remarks. It's those who oppose the 21st century Holocaust who've suffered career consequences
So what "godawful political climate" are you talking about? All Zionists in the industry are salivating to make projects to depict brown people as terrorists so you'll get your wish

I have no idea what you are on about. This has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. This is about the original French series where the characters are very nuanced and the writing doesn't sugarcoat Islamic terrorism and extremism. The first 3 seasons aired around 2015, aka when ISIS was most active in Western Europe and when France was attacked frequently. That isn't gonna fly in America these days. Kumail Nanjiani Would Like to Play the Bad Guy, TooAnother reason why I have no faith in this Hollywood version is that Clooney generally puts out garbage. |

Kumail Nanjiani Would Like to Play the Bad Guy, TooAnother reason why I have no faith in this Hollywood version is that Clooney generally puts out garbage. I understand the French series isn't about occupied Palestine. I brought it up to dispute your claim that the current political climate in Hollywood wouldn't allow for a brown actor to play a terrorist. I explained why the climate is ripe for that bc of what's happening in occupied Palestine (which you can't separate) and the alarming increase in hate crimes against brown people
I fully agree with Kumail Nanjiani, but again, since he said that, things have changed. You think Hollywood is too scared and PC to have a brown actor play a terrorist. I'm saying that's not true in the current climate. Jessica Alba's new movie apparently had brown guy terrorists.
