Here's a quote from Bruce Beresford. He wrote it last January:
-----------------------------------------------------------
**** A proposed film about Buddy Holly seemed to be all set to go into production when my Los Angeles agent had a call from a producer (who chickened out of contacting me directly) with the news, ‘We’ve decided we want a Black director’. I pointed out that Buddy Holly was not Black, that I had spent a year working with the writer and had done a huge amount of research. ****


I don't think it's necessary to have a white director just because Buddy Holly was white. I really don't care what the skin tone is, as long as the film itself is good.
