The "Albuquerque Free Press Weekly" announced in their newspaper, "New Mexico is slated to play host to the adaptation of the comic book
series 'Scalped,' created by Jason Aaron. The production is expected to shoot in multiple locations
beginning very early next year (2017)."
The Hollywood Reporter says, "Scalped - is described as a modern-day crime story set in the
world of a Native American Indian reservation. It explores power,
loyalty and spirituality in a community led by the ambitious chief
Lincoln Red Crow as he reckons with Dashiell Bad Horse, who has returned
home after years away from the reservation."
"Banshee's Doug Jung will pen the script and executive
produce the DC Comics series originally written by Jason Aaron and
illustrated by R.M. Guéra. DC Entertainment creative director Johns is
attached to exec produce the drama, which hails from Warner Horizon
Television. Insiders say WGN America is eyeing an all Native American
cast."
"The 60-issue monthly comic was first published by DC imprint Vertigo
in 2007 and was partly inspired by the 1975 arrest of Native American
activist Leonard Peltier. Peltier was arrested for the slaying of two FBI agents in a reservation shootout."
