Course then again, the company is based in Sweden so who knows what the minority representation is in their country, much less their hiring practices.
Sweden and all of Scandinavia is very liberal and open to people from other countries. I don’t know if the racist monkey/Black person slur is known there or not but it certainly is here. They definitely should have done some research.

But without a doubt there is a cultural representation here that is part of the excitement.

I challenge anyone here to name a major blockbuster studio film where the co-stars, much less most of the cast was of one particular color other than white.

(And no, AVATAR doesn't count! )
I think probably the only film that even comes close is House of Flying Daggers, or Memoirs of a Geisha. Though to be fair both made a lot of cash but weren’t really ‘blockbusters’.

Correct. Both are wonderful films but made as independent films in their respective countries. I think Sony Gem Pictures then purchased the rights to release in the U.S. in limited run in theaters.

For a $3 million budget, I think it did okay for it's time.
