I seriously am both excited to see Jason getting some control on a production and really curious to know more about the subject matter.
Apple announced this week that Jason Momoa will produce, write and star in a straight-to-series order to a limited drama series called Chief Of War for Apple +.
According to the Deadline story, Chief Of War will be the “epic and unprecedented telling of the unification and colonization of Hawaii from an indigenous point of view”.
I really find this waaaaayyyy past due in that the seizing of Hawaii is something I never hear about and yet it’s part of our very own country.
Momoa was born in Hawaii and his father is a Native Hawaiian. So we can assume he’ll be giving us the POV of the native Hawaiians.
I’m really looking forward to this.
