Quote:
A down-on-his-luck American Indian recently released from jail is offered the chance to "star" as the victim of a snuff film, the resulting pay of which could greatly help his poverty stricken family.

for me, I don't like the thought of a white guy in a native american role. I'm not a huge lone ranger fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like this is just a bad idea.

I have to say, that movie "The Brave" seems quite enticing ! Must be because it reminds me of Scalped.

Thank you very much project !

That said, I believe now that Brooklyn is injecting potent amounts of heroin into his bloodstream :D !

Seriously, not seeing the white washing in Tonto at all.

They could have cast an actor who actually is Native American. Even Depp sounds a bit foggy on his Native American roots.

Also, is there any chance this movie won't be terrible?

She sees herself as being black, and so do most people. Rashida Jones is half black, but I'm not so sure people would think of her as being black in the same way they do Halle Berry.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why race is a social construct.

Pointless, you gotta hire a good actor that can look the part of a native american, if Depp thinks he has the chops for it, then bring it on.

How is it pointless? There are no good Native American actors?

Not at all, but it's not like there's something morally reprehensible with hiring an actor who, with some good makeup, can look like a native american and still act well.

If there's anything I'm afraid with Depp, is that he brings turns the role of Tonto into Jack Sparrow, now that would suck.
