Killers of the Flower Moo𝄹n screenwriter Eric Roth has spoken about Martin Scorses♌e's upcoming Western, promising something we haven't seen on screen before. 

"I think it'll be like nothing we've ever seen, in🥂 a way," Roth said in an interview with . "And so this one is, 🐼to me, one for the ages."

Based on the best-selling book of the same name, the movie is set in '20s Oklahoma and follow𓂃s the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of bruta💙l crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror. 

The movie stars Jesse Plemons, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Plemons will play Tom White, the lead FBI agent investigating the murders – a character that was originally going to be played by DiCaprio before 💛he stepped back into his current role, the nephew of a powerful local rancher (De Niro) who is married to an Osage (Gladstone). Roth, however, argues that contrary to rumor🐓s surrounding the casting decision, Plemons and DiCaprio are on equal footing in the movie.

"I wouldn't say [Plemons is] the lead," Roth added. "I would say that heꦆ 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, and Leo's part is very complicated and very interesting. It's aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ smart part for a smart actor to play."

Roth is an Academy Award-winning screenwriter, penning a number of critically acclaimed movies including Forrest Gump, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Star is Born
