Why? Inglorious Basterds had an unarmed Hitler's face being pasted off by a machine gun and nobody really minded ('cepting the usual worryworts who think violent revenge fantasies are all "bad"). Rob Zombie got a cult action hit featuring a kidnapped woman being raped with a gun. All they need to do is insert a (probably doomed) soulful brown ally ala The Kingdom to balance out the "they shot an unarmed brown dude!" factor. I mean I think film violence is prevalent and celebrated enough now that it's a little ridiculous to wring your hands over whether or not the actor getting fake-shot onscreen is problematic because the real guy got real-shot offscreen. How is it any different than any other instance of dramatized murder? Did people get in a tizzy about Zodiac?

Disney's already got a head start.

series of good points except that they didn't exactly suggest that the zodiac killer was the sympathetic protagonist of that movie

Did you guys see the part where they blew up the Helicopter? That was a bad ass scene.
