I wrote about how Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” was readying a Spring 2020 shoot [11.27.19] The film would mark the first time that the director’s two acting muses -Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro- would be working side-by-side on a Scorsese movie..
The film, written by Eric Roth, an Oscar winner for “Forrest Gump,” is based on a non-fiction book by David Grann. Grann’s murder mystery is set in 1920s Oklahoma and tells the story of Osage Indians who suddenly started to get murdered, as did those trying to investigate. A corrupt FBI would eventually be tasked to investigate.
The latest issue of Sight and Sound has an in-depth interview with Scorsese and the topic of “Killers of the Flower Moon” does come up. We get a little more detail on the way Scorsese wants to paint his film and the way he wants to tell his story.
