We know who Eadweard Muybridge is, the man who created the clip, but we don’t know who that guy on horseback is. He’s the first movie star, the first animal trainer, the first stuntman ever shot and nobody knows who he is! This cancellation is part of what the main characters in this film are trying to correct.
