A lot has been happening behind-the-scenes on the upcoming Martin Scorsese-directed film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film, starring Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio, has had its budget balloon to close to $225 million in the past few months, with Paramount having to sell off distribution and creative rights to Apple.

Paramount Acquires Martin Scorsese's Next Movie, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon' Starring Leonardo DiCaprio
Last year, Variety had confirmed that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Dicaprio's sixth collaboration together "Killers of the Flower Moon" would start production this summer. However, with Scorsese still putting the finishing touches on “The Irishman,” it does look like this coming fall is a better bet. No matter, the movie is definitely happening, especially with today’s news that Paramount has picked it up for distribution.
Read moreWill Quentin Tarantino Re-Edit ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' Before Its Release?
By all accounts, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” was met with a distinctive shrug by the Cannes jury, as the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu-led crew gave the film zero awards during the closing night ceremony. However, American critics seem to really like the movie, judging by its 88 Metascore and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. And yet, all people seemed to be wanting to talk about, which I refused to cover given how much I loved the film and didn’t want this overshadowing it, was the now-infamous press conference, where Tarantino got visibly upset when someone asked about the film’s “violence against women” and Margot Robbie’s lack of screentime (QT’s now infamous reply “I reject your hypothesis!”).

Quentin Tarantino was just 6 years old and living in Los Angeles when Charles Manson sent his gang of toxified flower children to murder Tate and four others at the home she shared with husband Roman Polanski. At the time of her death, she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant. There is absolutely no chance that Tarantino doesn’t remember that time, even at a young age. The Manson murders are credited as changing the landscape of American society and culture.

The first time I saw Steven Spielberg’s cat-and-mouse flick "Catch Me If You Can," I knew it was destined to become a classic. Of course, over the years, when you talk about Spielberg's best films you will have people name-checking the usuals, such as “Saving Private Ryan,” “Schindler’s List,” "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and "Minority Report." But “Catch Me If You Can”? Almost never mentioned.

'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' Cinematographer says Quentin Tarantino's Latest is "Humorous, Serious, Spooky and Playful"
The questions remains as to exactly what kind of film Quentin Tarantino is making with the upcoming "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood." The film will either be a) an absurdist revisionist genre film like 'Inglourious' and 'Django' or it'll be b) A film grounded in the dark, realist violence of "Reservoir Dogs," "Jackie" and "Pulp Fiction." Something tells me it's the latter. QT has even mentioned that '‘Once Upon A Time’ is “probably the closest to ‘Pulp Fiction’ that I have done.”
