Leonardo DiCaprio is circling a lead role in Todd Field‘s (In the Bedroom, Little Children) The Creed of Violence, a Western based on the recent book by Boston Teran about a criminal who smuggles weapons into Mexico in 1910 but ends up in the custody of a government agent who turns out to be his son (DiCaprio hasn’t yet decided between the two characters). Creed has been in development at Universal for years, but DiCaprio’s interest could put it back on the fast track. Then again, maybe the failure of Cowboys and Aliens over the weekend means Universal will cool it on Westerns for a while. Grade: A- [“24 Frames”/LAT]
