Ethan Hawke has revealed that he was forced to scrap a planned Apache movie after realising that raising funds for a big budget film that “doesn’t star a white person” was impossible.
I had it budgeted at like $240 million,” he said at New York Comic Con on Thursday.
It remains to be seen whether movies such as The Birth of a Nation, A United Kingdom and Loving can break the #OscarsSoWhite trend next year.
