Andy Serkis was asked by the BBC why his Hunt for Gollum cast is entirely white. He didn't dodge it. "Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology... The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know... they don't want people coming in."

Andy Serkis was asked by the BBC why his Hunt for Gollum cast is entirely white. He didn't dodge it. "Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology... The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know... they don't want people coming in."

He added his casting will only address diversity "where relevant," not as a box-ticking mandate.

Compare that to Rings of Power's two seasons of race-swapped characters and forced diversity narratives.

Is Serkis's honesty about the source material more respectable than the usual studio hedge, or does it just make the double standard across Amazon's own Middle-earth productions more obvious?

Why has James Cameron never pursued The Odyssey, considering his passion for large-scale epic storytelling? Personally, I think Jim would have been an even better fit for it if Nolan hadn't already taken on the adaptation.

Vozinha was one of the standout performers in this summer’s World Cup, and now the Cape Verde goalkeeper has been recognised by having a newly-discovered species named in his honour.

A new species of marine mollusk has been named after the 40-year-old by Spanish researcher Jesus Ortea.

Ortea made the discovery of the new species — a small sea slug of red appearance and about four millimeters that was, until his published work, unknown by science — and has named it Aldisa vozinhai (in English, Vozinha’s sea slug).

Many people don’t know this, but the crossed-arms “X” signal is FIFA’s universal gesture for reporting racist abuse :

When a player, coach, or team official makes that signal, they’re informing the referee that racist abuse has occurred. It is meant to trigger FIFA’s three-step anti-racism protocol: first stop the match, then suspend it if the abuse continues, and ultimately abandon the match if it doesn’t stop.

Today, Egypt manager Hossam Hassan made the “X” gesture from the touchline. Instead of initiating the protocol, the referee booked Hassan with a yellow card and allowed play to continue.

Algeria approach Madjid Bougherra, Anthar Yahia and Karim Matmour to form part of future coaching staff. Plan is for them to be the coaching staff for a new foreign coach. If Algeria find no-one, plan B; Bougherra will be the main coach.
