Indigenous actresses Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins and Jillian Dion have joined the ensemble cast of Martin Scorsese’s thriller “Killers of the Flower Moon” at Apple Studios and Appian Way Productions.
Set in 1920s Oklahoma, the story portrays 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.
Cardinal plays Lizzie Q, the mother of Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone). Myers, Collins and Dion will play the roles of Mollie’s sisters, Anna, Reta and Minnie.
Mollie is an Osage woman married to Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is the nephew of a powerful local rancher (Robert De Niro). Jesse Plemons stars as Tom White, the lead FBI agent investigating the murders.
Scorsese is producing and directing from a screenplay by Eric Roth.
