Robert De Niro is playing William Hale
Leonardo DiCaprio is playing his nephew Ernest Buckhart

Both were evil and despicable human beings who manipulated and murdered Osage people for Money in early 20th Century.

Good guy and lead of this story/novel is character of “Tom White”.
He was a Texas man sent by J Edgar Hoover to investigate Osage Murders and hence FBI was born.

I think Matt Damon will be good fit for the role especially after seeing him nail Texas persona in Ford v Ferrari

Shooting starts first week of March 2020.
Who do you think should be playing it?

Has the role not been cast yet? Seems like they’re leaving it a bit late.

This is not a Netlfix release is it? I want Scorsese to be able to win with this if he knocks it out of the park which he probably will.

No suprising only De Niro and DiCaprio are big names that have been cast as of now and shooting begins within a month.
DiCaprio was initially playing Tom White but recently he changed to Ernest Buckhart.
If they are following David Grann’s book then whoever plays Tom White is lead of this film.

I would cast either Damon or (and this is someone people might not think of automatically) Ryan Reynolds

I agree that Matt Damon would do a wonderful job. He played that western/Texas character in Ford v Ferrari and True Grit and he nailed it both times – plus he’s the perfect “good guy”. I think he’d be a great fit.

De Niro and Leo in another Scorcese picture? Yawn. Other actors exist.

FYC:

Antonio Banderas and Asier Etxeandia, Dolor y Gloria (Best Actor/Supporting Actor)
Emily Beecham, Little Joe (Best Actress)
Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren, The Good Liar (Best Actor/Actress)

He is busy with Stillwater and The last Duel.

Agree, I understand directors have their favourites but after some point it becomes tiresome.

It obviously won’t happen but I wish Scorsese could get DDL out of retirement to be in this film. He would be better suited to one of the bad guys though.

That would be a dream scenario.

How about a First Nations actor as a Texas Ranger?
Or will we make this all about “saviour-ism”? And make sure the cast has Native actors. 80% at least. How’s THAT Marty?
Lol.

Oh good. I think if The Irishman was a Paramount release it would be a bigger contender this year.
