Isbell tweeted, “When I say I am EXCITED” about his big screen debut in a post — credited to Osage News — that also noted that indigenous actor William Belleau (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) and Louis Cancelmi (The Irishman) have also been added to the cast alongside Jason’s role as Burkhart rival Bill Smith and Simpson as rodeo champ and bootlegger Henry Grammer.
While it will be Isbell’s first movie role, Simpson has been dipping his foot into Hollywood over the past few years, appearing in the drama Queen and Slim and Jim Jarmusch’s 2019 zombie flick The Dead Don’t Die, for which he also wrote and performed the theme song.
