And anyone who’s read “To Kill a Mockingbird” would be surprised if Atticus Finch was black on screen as well.
Wait for the remake, if they could even summon the intellect to do it. They rewrote the Sum of All Fears such that Clancy walked away from it. Instead of islamics they had neo nazi’s. And nowhere were they helped by member of Amer. Indian Movement as Clancy had them do in his book. They believe they can rewrite reality. A black Atticus? Wouldn’t doubt it, but the courtroom scenes would be pretty hard to play out, considering it was supposed to be the 1920s.
