Hailing from Apple Studios, “Killers of the Flower Moon” will be based on David Grann’s best-selling book of the same name.

Simpson joins the cast as infamous rodeo champ and bootlegger Henry Grammer. Isbell will be an adversary of Burkhart.

Previously announced as cast: DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons as Tom White, Lily Gladstone as Mollie Burkhart, Tantoo Cardinal as “Lizzie Q” (Mollie’s mother) and Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins and Jillian Dion as Mollie’s sisters.
