Zack Sharf Digital News Director The version of “Killers of the Flower Moon” that is opening in theaters this weekend is far different from the “Killers of the Flower Moon” that director Martin Scorsese first attempted to bring to the big screen. Originally, Scorsese and co-writer Eric Roth planned to more faithfully adapt David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name and wrote a script from the perspective of the FBI agents who investigated a string of murders among the Osage Nation in the 1920s. Scorsese recently told BFI’s Sight & Sound magazine that this first script “was going to take four-and-a-half hours just to read it.” “Our script was over two hundred pages,” he also confirmed to The New Yorker about the original “Flower Moon” screenplay.
Matthew McConaughey played a shirtless murder victim in ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ — and was just alright
02.10.2023 - 19:29 / nypost.com
a clip from the documentary obtained by EW, scenes from the episode show a shirtless McConaughey mowing the lawn before meeting a fatal end in his garage. “Matthew McConaughey had to do a fairly robust death scene,” a producer said in the clip. “He was working in his garage and he was shot by a man who pulled up with a shotgun.
Let’s just say… his acting has come a long way since then.”The clip also notes that the scene didn’t originally call for McConaughey to be bare chested. But, the director told the rising star that he could lose his shirt, since it was a sweltering summer in Texas. Little did the director and producer know that McConaughey would rise to fame just one year later, with his breakout role in Richard Linklater’s 1993 high school comedy, “Dazed and Confused,” starring in a scene-stealing role alongside Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, and his future “Yellowstone” cast-mate, Cole Hauser.
(That role also spawned his famous “alright, alright, alright” catchphrase). He’d then go on to become a rom-com king, frequently appearing shirtless in movies such as “How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days,” “Failure to Launch” and Magic Mike,” before he went through his “McConaissance,” and got acclaim for more prestige drama roles such as “True Detective,” “Dallas Buyers Club,” (for which he won an Oscar), and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Up next, as Kevin Costner makes his highly publicized exit from the hit “Yellowstone” franchise, McConaughey will take that over, starring in an untitled spin-off show. “Unsolved Mysteries: Behind the Legacy” will premiere Oct.
