It's the events around his life, and the reaction to his death that is noteworthy. Not the kid himself - he didn't do anything remarkable.
If anything - that's the reason why it's being made. To highlight how a tragic thing that happens to someone who has never done anything of note, neither good or bad, became such a huge issue. It wouldn't be a big role anyway - the real drama comes after he is shot. It is AFTER his death that would make up the majority of the movie. -

In order to be even remotely entertaining, it would have to be completely revisionist. It would be the investigation, interrupted several times to flashbacks of Trayvon's youth trying to portray him as some kind of sweet, innocent little angle who loved school and helped his grandma and all that jazz. Plenty of scenes for Jayden to ham up.

If Hollywood is contemplating another "white hate" film, you can bet your boots it will get a green light. Today's film making community never tires of pointing out what savage, ignorant, hate filled people we Caucasians are. Dear little innocent Trayvon will be presented in the most flattering light possible (and played by someone who thinks making faces is considered acting). And then there will be the flocks of oh-so-liberal critics who, through tears, will proclaim it to be the most profound and moving experience they've ever known..that is, until the next "white hate" film makes its debut.
Welcome to The Land Of Double Standards, ladies and gents. Our world never eliminates prejudice, it simply finds new targets to attack. So if any white folks happen upon this post, shame on you for all your atrocities and wallow in your guilt like the trash you are.
