Marvel actress Scarlett Johansson to star in film about Dallas-area informant

• She was the subject of a seven-part series by former Dallas Morning News reporter Scott Farwell.

Catch up fast: Blevins grew up in Murphy and was an athlete at Plano East Senior High School. It was the era of heroin overdoses in the middle class suburb.

• She tried heroin for the first time at 15 and eventually quit school.
• Blevins became a sex worker, which led her to Micheal "Crash" Bianculli, an ABT member who was also a low-level informant.
• Bianculli asked Blevins to be his featherwood, saying it meant she was his "Aryan princess."

Of note: The movie is titled "Featherwood," per Deadline, which first reported the movie deal.

• The ABT term means a member's girlfriend is an object to be shared among the brothers.

Details: The six-year FBI investigation into the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas involved several federal law enforcement agencies, the Texas Rangers and multiple police departments, including Carrollton, Mesquite and Fort Worth.

• The ABT evolved from being a prison gang to protect white supremacist inmates to conducting criminal enterprise beyond bars.

• One of the top targets of the FBI investigation into the ABT was James "Skitz" Sampsell, the only ABT general outside prison.
• After Sampsell was arrested, he ordered other members to capture and kill Blevins, per the DMN.

The intrigue: Sampsell was one of the 36 people charged with conducting racketeering activity as part of the investigation involving Blevins.

• Records show the group would enforce its rules through threats, assaults and murder.

Zoom in: Sampsell was sentenced to nearly 12 years in federal prison and was released in August 2022, per federal records.

• Rusty Eugene Duke, of Dallas, remains in federal prison and isn't scheduled for release until May 2028.
