TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Kihekah Avenue in Pawhuska is transforming for the production of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a film to be directed by Martin Scorsese.

I drive downtown quite often and they are working on all of the buildings,” said Cody Garnett, owner of the Ben Johnson Cowboy Museum. “I heard some crazy thing like they are going to turn our Kihekah Ave. back into a dirt street like it was in the ’20s. They are working back here building a new train depot, too.”

Construction crews for the film are working on multiple buildings in downtown Pawhuska. One crew member told NewsChannel 8 that they are happy to give some of the buildings a face-lift.

The crew member said they are glad the community is supporting the making of the film there.

Joshua Zeman is behind the doc about a whale that scientists believe has spent its entire life in solitude.

Bleecker Street has taken the North American rights to documentary The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52, which counts Leonardo DiCaprio as an executive producer.

Joshua Zeman is behind the doc that chronicles the quest to find the “52 Hertz Whale,” which scientists believe has spent its entire life in solitude calling out at a frequency that is different from any other whale. As the film embarks on this engrossing journey, audiences will explore what this whale’s lonely plight can teach us — not just about our changing relationship to the oceans, but to each other.

The film will be released in theaters on July 9, with a VOD release to follow.

Zeman and Jonathan Shukat produced the movie. Along with DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson, Lucy Sumner, Adrian Grenier, Brian Devine, Evan Krauss, Gabriel Napora, Yas Taalat and Yipeng Ben Lu executive produced the feature.

CAA Media Finance and Eisner negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers.

I can’t desist perception of you
All my life I’ve been thinking
Being alone won’t cause any harm in anyone
Who am I to care for someone
That was tenebrous truth I was raving
That was all an unavailing way to ascribe myself for something I had no will to set forth with
I sometimes contemplate of caching
Hence the unforgettable reverie indomitably is there in front of me where I have no choice but to keep falling
Everyday in middle of night in middle of every second I keep falling for something that could unravel with such speed where my world keeps entwined and tantalized, closely interwoven
I wish my fait wasn’t this miscellaneous
I don’t feel ubiquitous in life
I keep dreaming away in feeling there’s no mendacity appeared in
I rise to ascertain the vitality of my world
Even though I have no certainty
No way to preclude
Just penurious looniness

Sifting through old photos and recordings inspired the star of ‘Punky Brewster’ (now revived on Peacock) to direct Hulu’s ‘Kid 90,’ executive produced by Sean Penn along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, about her youth.

Four years ago, Soleil Moon Frye cracked open what she calls her vault, a collection of Tupperware containers filled with journals, photos, ephemera and hundreds of hours of audio and video recordings.

Moon Frye, 44, wasn’t sure what she’d discover by digging through the items that had been in storage 20-plus years or how it would make her feel. Especially because so much of her life had been documented since the age of 7, when she was cast on Punky Brewster, a role that made her a beloved child star and part of a peer group that navigated fame eons before social media. “I had such a joyful, beautiful, happy life in so many ways,” says Moon Frye, “and then there were experiences that were incredibly painful. I truly opened Pandora’s box.”

At age 14, after receiving a video camera, Moon Frye carried it everywhere, pointing it at the faces of friends like Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Will Smith, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Brian Austin Green and Stephen Dorff, while capturing trips to Magic Mountain and adventures on mushrooms.

Some of those videos are now part of a documentary she directed, kid 90, that hits Hulu on March 12, with DiCaprio’s Appian Way team (Jennifer Davisson and Philip Watson) listed as executive producers. “We were just a group of real friends who had very authentic relationships and incredible adventures,” says the mother of four who also stars on Peacock’s Punky Brewster revival. In kid 90, Moon Frye doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects including drug use, sexual assault, suicide (close friend Jonathan Brandis hanged himself in 2003) and her breast-reduction surgery. Revisiting her youth — as seen in the images she shares here — was life-changing. “It makes me super emotional because reliving it transformed my relationships, my marriage, everything,” she says. “I believe that I had left this chronological blueprint as a way for me to find my way back home.”
