"Aloha" director Cameron Crowe addressed the casting controversy with his film based on life in Hawaii by releasing an apology on his blog.

"Thank you so much for all the impassioned comments regarding the casting of the wonderful Emma Stone in the part of Allison Ng," the director wrote. "I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice."

Crowe said the movie was based on a person that was a quarter Hawaiian but looked nothing like it.

"Extremely proud of her unlikely heritage, she feels personally compelled to over-explain every chance she gets," he wrote. "The character was based on a real-life, red-headed local who did just that."

"Aloha" stars Bradley Cooper as a defense contractor who was assigned to oversee the launch of a military satellite from Hawaii, according to The Guardian. Other cast members include Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray and Alec Baldwin.

Sony released the movie and received backlash from Media Action Network for Asian Americans soon after for "whitewashing" Hawaiian culture.

"While some have been quick to judge a movie they haven't seen and a script they haven't read, the film Aloha respectfully showcases the spirit and culture of the Hawaiian people," Sony said defending the claims against it.

Crowe also mentioned in his letter that Asian-Americans and other people from diverse backgrounds helped to bring the movie together.

"I am so proud that in the same movie, we employed many Asian-American, Native-Hawaiian and Pacific-Islanders, both before and behind the camera ... including Dennis "Bumpy" Kanahele, and his village, and many other locals who worked closely in our crew and with our script to help ensure authenticity," Crowe wrote.

"Aloha" made $10 million the weekend it was released opening at No. 6 in the box office. The movie has gotten the worst reviews of Crowe's career in making films.
