Just to clarify, I am not complaining that she is black, but that she has changed personality so much from the book. In an interview with Bateman I have read, he states that he was so 'Enamoured' by Cynthia Erivo, that he just had to have her in the the role, so it was rewritten and changed to suit her style.

In my opinion ruining what could have been a great adaptation.
Well to be fair, every Stephen King book made into a movie completely shreds the book and looks nothing like it should have been. It's something I will never understand.

One of my favorites was 11-22-63... I mean that book blew me away. Then they cast James Franco in the lead role for the movie adaptation... he's a good actor but JFC he couldn't have been more wrong for the role. And of course the series left out tons of important plot points and rewrote the damn thing. It was still entertaining to watch but paled in comparison to the book.
