Adam Sandler Addresses 'The Ridiculous 6' Walk Out by Native American Actors
Adam Sandler is currently promoting his new movie "Pixels," but while he's talking to the press, the press is asking about another one of his projects: "The Ridiculous 6." That's the name of his Netflix comedy, which has an all-star cast and premieres December 11. You may recall the controversy over how Native Americans are depicted in the movie; about a dozen Native actors and actresses, and the cultural adviser, walked off the set in April, sharing their complaints. Netflix issued a statement standing by Sandler and the movie, and now the actor/producer is weighing in himself.
"It was just a misunderstanding and once the movie is out will be cleared up," he told The Associated Press on the red carpet for the world premiere of "Pixels." Sandler, who also co-wrote the script, called the movie 100 percent pro-American Indian.
Fans can judge for themselves (or skip the movie entirely) this December. "The Ridiculous 6" co-stars Nick Nolte, Terry Crews, Steve Buscemi, Will Forte, Taylor Lautner, Luke Wilson and Whitney Cummings.
