‘American Wolf’….06 Story Coming To The Big Screen

This could be big Warriors. If DiCaprio secures the rights to Nate Blakeslee  book proposal, on the incredibly famous wolf 06, the alpha female of Yellowstone’s Lamar Canyon pack, who was gunned down by a hunter when she set foot outside the park.  It will shine a bright light on wolf  persecution and the need to  keep wolves on the Endangered Species List.

And who better to bring “Rockstar’s” story to the big screen than Leonardo DiCaprio. This won’t be a little production but a film that will be shown throughout the country. I hope this is finalized quickly. Wolves are on a precipice, with the haters screaming for a national wolf delisting.

No, American Wolf is not a follow-up to The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s actually a tale of the female alpha wolf (the “06”) who’d captivated the scientific and tourist community only to be shot by a hunter outside of Yellowstone National Park in 2012, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s production banner Appian Way is teaming up with Kevin McCormick’s Langley Park to secure the film rights, sources tell EW. The deal is not closed yet, though.

Nate Blakeslee, a Senior Editor at Texas Monthly, sold his book proposal for the story earlier this week for a reported seven-figures. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it inspired some enthusiastic bidding between various production companies, including New Regency and ImageMovers.

The story will focus on the impact Wolf 832F, or 06 (called that because she was born in 2006), had on the humans around her, the business of wolf-watching at Yellowstone, and the public outrage at the hunter, whom Blakeslee was able to track down.
