‘Promised Land’ Star, Director Stumped by Insane Diversity Question
Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Arcel chuckle over journalist's woke line of questioning
The film is “entirely Nordic, it therefore has some lack of diversity you would say, there’s also new rules implied in Hollywood…” the journalist began.
Mikkelsen immediately shakes his head, laughs and turns to his director in apparent disbelief. The journalist continues, “It’s not because of artistic reasons, it’s because of a lack of diversity,” the unnamed journalist continues. “Are you worried about it?”
“First of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s,” the director says. ““It wasn’t a thought in our mind…I think it would be a little weird … it’s just how it was in the 1750s,” Arcel finishes, with Mikkelsen grinning beside him.
