    The former ‘Breaking Bad’ actor has been enlisted to take over the role originally meant for the ‘Titanic’ star after the latter didn’t see eye to eye with the ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ scribe.

    Feb 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actor Jesse Plemons has taken over Leonardo Dicaprio’s lead role in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming drama “Killers of the Flower Moon”.
    DiCaprio had originally been tapped to star as FBI agent Tom White, who is tasked with investigating a series of real-life murders in the Osage Indians community in Oklahoma in the early 1920s, but he clashed with screenwriter Eric Roth and reportedly pushed to be recast as the secondary lead after a series of script rewrites.
    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Plemons, who worked with Scorsese on “The Irishman”, will now step into the shoes of White, pulling out of talks to join filmmaker Jordan Peele’s new movie, due to a scheduling clash.

    As requested, DiCaprio will play Ernest Burkhart, the nephew of a powerful local rancher portrayed by Robert De Niro, with actress Lily Gladstone recruited as the “Titanic” star’s onscreen wife.
    “Killers of the Flower Moon”, based on the 2017 non-fiction book by journalist David Grann, is set to begin filming in May (21) and will premiere on Apple TV+.
    Eric Roth previously said of his argument with Leonardo DiCaprio, “Leonardo wanted some things changed that we argued about. He won half of them (arguments). I won half of them. So that’s happening.”
    Of the story adapted for the movie, the scribe explained, “It’s the story of Osage Indians, 1921, the poorest people in America who discover oil in this terrible land in Oklahoma, where they’ve been driven to. Then every killer in America comes to kill 184 of them for their money, but this really heroic guy comes in (to help).”

      The Oscar-winning actor argued with screenwriter Eric Roth over the script written by the latter for the upcoming true-story movie ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.

      Nov 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Leonardo Dicaprio and Eric Roth have clashed over the script for Martin Scorsese’s new movie “Killers of the Flower Moon”.
      Screenwriter Roth has revealed he and Leo butted heads as he was crafting the script because the Oscar-winning “The Revenant” star didn’t like everything he read.
      “I spent four or five years on this book, Killers of the Flower Moon, which everybody should read. It’s a wonderful book,” Eric told IndieWire. “My screenplay, I think, was accurate to the book.”
      “It’s the story of Osage Indians, 1921, the poorest people in America who discover oil in this terrible land in Oklahoma, where they’ve been driven to. Then every killer in America comes to kill 184 of them for their money, but this really heroic guy comes in (to help).”

      “That’s supposed to start filming in March once the COVID clears out… They’ll be continuing rewrites with that. Leonardo wanted some things changed that we argued about. He won half of them (arguments). I won half of them. So that’s happening.”
      The film will also feature another Scorsese regular, Robert De Niro.
      “When I read David Grann’s book, I immediately started seeing it – the people, the settings, the action – and I knew that I had to make it into a movie. I’m so excited to be working with Eric Roth and reuniting with Leo DiCaprio to bring this truly unsettling American story to the screen,” Scorsese previously said.
      The director previously teamed up Leonardo DiCaprio on “Gangs of New York” (2002), “The Aviator” (2004), “The Departed” (2006), “Shutter Island” (2010) and most recently “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013).
