Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo's interracial movie Come Away was targeted by an organized dislike brigade, which left fake reviews on its IMDb page to deter audiences.IMDb has since removed the ratings, measured by 1-10 stars, on the webpage for director Brenda Chapman's imaginative family film hitting US theaters/VOD on November 13 and UK theaters on December 4.In it, the 44-year-old Golden Globe nominee and the 45-year-old Oscar winner play married couple Jack & Rose Littleton, whose children Alice (Keira Chansa) and Peter (Jordan A. Nash) become the basis of Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan.  'The film is not rooted in race, at all. It so happens to be a family the likes of which would and could have historically existed in that time in British history, yet not the norm of what you are used to seeing,' David told THR on Thursday.'We realized we had a situation on our hands, much like the folks at Disney realized it in the wake of John Boyega's casting as a Stormtrooper in Star Wars or Halle Bailey for The Little Mermaid.'It's not the first time Oyelowo experienced this as Amma Asante's 2016 romance A United Kingdom starring him and Rosamund Pike as a married couple was targeted on Facebook.'We had such a tirade and influx of racial negative comments that Fox Searchlight had to take down our Facebook page,' the British born Nigerian-American recalled."This has been something I have experienced in my career, regularly. Being a black person who tends to gravitate toward aspirational content. It seems like these folks find that the most deplorable.'David continued: 'They can't say, "It is freedom of speech. People should be allowed to say what they want to say." Their platforms are being used insidiously, whether it is to affect elections or the reception of cultural content.'Outside of IMDb and social media, Come Away has scored a dismal 57% critic approval rating (out of 14 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.The fantastical adventure flick also features Michael Caine, Derek Jacobi, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Anna Chancellor, and Clarke Peters.
