Martin Scorsese’s long-awaited Western drama “Killers of the Flower Moon” is finally going into production next month with a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone. Plemons’ casting announcement in February generated buzz for the project as the “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” actor stepped into the role originally written for DiCaprio. The casting change led to questions around who is the actual lead of Scorsese’s new film, but “Flower Moon” screenwriter Eric Roth recently told Collider that just because Plemons took over DiCaprio’s original role does not mean DiCaprio has shifted into a supporting space a la his “Django Unchained” performance.
“I wouldn’t say [Plemons is] the lead,” Roth said. “I would say that he was the designated hero. But yeah, I think that’s fairer because I think the parts are pretty equal and they were always equal to a certain extent,...

With Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon finally getting underway, the director continues to expand the cast of his David Grann adaptation. After quite a few additions in the last couple of weeks, four more actors have joined the ensemble.
Deadline reports that Scott Shepherd, Tatanka Means (Once Upon a River), Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Death of Dick Long) have all joined the film, which will depict the serial murders of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.
Tatanka Means (Once Upon a River)
Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills)
Michael Abbott Jr. (The Death of Dick Long)
As Deadline notes, “Means will play John Wren. Abbott will play Frank Smith and Healy will play John Burger, federal agents who works with Tom White (Plemons) on the investigation of the murders in the Osage Nation.

If werewolf movies ever had a heyday, it was the 1980's, with An American Werewolf in London and The Howling showing off the best of what this particular sub-genre had to offer. Other than those two classics, it hasn't fared that well though.

But in 2002, a movie came in under every ones radar that really embraced all the fun a werewolf movie can offer. I am, of course, talking about Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers.
