Another plot twist in the never-ending post-production process for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” [via Awards Worthy]
Additional reshoots have been called for mid-August in New York under the working title, “Gray Horse”. The reshoots are said to be taking place only for a few days, but this does give us a slightly better idea as to where we’re at it in terms of this film’s current status.
None of the main actors are said to participate in these reshoots. The casting call is asking for a photo double (possibly for DiCaprio) and a few extras. There’s also the necessity in getting a 1920s period haircut.
If you remember, additional shooting on the film took place in Pawhuska, Oklahoma back in May.
A rough cut of Scorsese’s film was screened for Apple and Paramount execs last month. One person told me, “it is a bravura piece of filmmaking in all areas, and with a social consciousness, as the book was, at its heart”.
Of course, these reshoots should not deter you from the fact that we might still get “Killers of the Flower Moon” in December. There is no reason to think 2022 isn’t an option with five months of the year still left. As I was told by someone from deep inside the Scorsese creative team, “Marty knows when he wants the best version of his movie seen, whenever and whatever that takes. It’s all about the virtue of patience.”
