Apple Original Films says indigenous actresses Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins and Jillian Dion will star in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming feature “Killers of the Flower Moon,” reports Deadline.
The four join the already announced cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons and Lily Gladstone. The movie, set in 1920s Oklahoma, depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.
Cardinal, whose credits include “Dances With Wolves” and “Godless,” will play the role of Lizzie Q, the mother of Mollie Burkhart, played by Gladstone. Myers, Collins and Dion will play Mollie’s sisters, Anna, Reta and Minnie.
The film is based on David Grann’s book of the same name and has a script by Eric Roth. Set in 1920s Oklahoma when the Osage Nation discovered oil under their land, the Native Americans found themselves being murdered one by one. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case and unraveled a chilling conspiracy and one of the most monstrous crimes in American history.
