Disney has announced that they are adapting the book Aloha Rodeo by David Wolman and Julian Smith into a film for Disney+ with Chris Kekaniokalani Bright set to write the script. Jeremy Latcham is attached to produce.

Here’s the synopsis:

Based on the untold true story of Hawaiian cowboys, Aloha Rodeo follows three paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys) who traveled from Hawaii to Wyoming in 1908 to compete in the Frontier Days Championship Roping Competition. What started off as a novelty quickly turned into a one-sided competition as the paniolos performed feats that the mainlanders had never dreamed of before.

The film is the biggest project yet for Bright, who will bring the live-action adaptation to life. This sounds like a really interesting historical series, and I am interested to see what it looks like when it comes together. Does it sound like a movie you’d be interested in watching?
