serial online<\/a> pictured at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Prey,’ said he was inspired to make the film because Native Americans ‘have often been relegated to playing the sidekick or the villain, and never the hero’<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDisney-owned 20th Century Studios’ decision “to get behind a movie like this that has not just a female action hero, but an Indigenous female action hero… that’s something that I don’t recall seeing, maybe possibly ever,” she said.<\/p>\n
The film’s setting is “a real time in history for us, that is not that long ago, (when) I had ancestors walking around doing cool stuff, you know?”<\/p>\n
While “Prey” was shot in English, French and Comanche, its Native American actors later re-recorded their lines so that the whole movie can be played in Comanche — a first for a major studio film, according to producer Jhane Myers, who is herself Comanche.<\/p>\n
For Midthunder, “what I really honestly thought about every day I came to work, was not wanting to let down Comanche people first and foremost, but specifically Indigenous people.”<\/p>\n
“And that if it did work, and we did pull it off, then how great that would be for us — to have something where we feel like we can look at a movie and feel represented and reflected in a way that you’re proud of,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Because we don’t often get that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
