Written by Jordan Roberts, the movie is inspired by the true story of Chief Ron Roberts, who despite his blond hair and blue eyes, said that he was of Mohegan ancestry in order to open a casino. His claims held up in court and he is now building a casino in New York.
Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer will produce Chief Ron.
