Actor Leonardo DiCaprio already has several connections to Montana, and it seems he might be about to make another.
Back in 2015, DiCaprio was spotted and photographed at Missoula's Caras Park. It was reported that he was in town for his friend, and fellow actor, Tobey Maguire's birthday party, according to the Missoulian.
Leonardo DiCaprio also starred in The Revenant in 2015. The movie was set in Montana, but only a small part of the movie was filmed in Montana. The waterfall scenes were filmed at the Kootenai Falls in Libby. He won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in this movie.
More recently, DiCaprio starred with Montana's Lily Gladstone in the critically acclaimed Killers of the Flower Moon. Now DiCaprio may get even more ties to Montana. It is being reported that he is set to play Montana's own Evel Knievel in an upcoming movie.
According to World of Reel, some details emerging about the story. The movie is titled "Evel Knievel on Tour" and is written by William Monahan, who wrote "The Departed", and Terence Winter who wrote "Wolf of Wall Street"
