The most charismatic cinematic duo is reuniting again with yet another probable masterpiece. Yes, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are coming with a new western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon and fans are getting intrigued by the first look of it.
Earlier yesterday Leonardo DiCaprio himself shared the first look of the film via Instagram which features Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone as Ernest and Mollie Burkhart sitting together for a meal. Killers of the Flower Moon is set in 1920s Oklahoma and the story centers around the investigation of serial murders that plagued the Osage Nation after valuable oil was discovered on their land. In the series of the events, Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman falls in love with DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart. Early in their relationship, Mollie invites him in for a meal and they form a bond. Ernest is the son of a powerful local rancher who will be portrayed by another screen legend, Rober De Niro.
Killers of the Flower Moon will mark the 7th collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio. Apart from DiCaprio and DeNiro, the film has a stellar cast of Jesse Plemons, Scott Shepherd, Pat Healy, Tantoo Cardinal, Michael Abbott Jr. and Gary Basaraba, among others.
Reportedly Martin Scorsese started the filming of Killers of the Flower Moon on 19th April in Oklahoma and he said earlier in an interview that they are thrilled to finally start production on Killers of the Flower Moon in Oklahoma. Scorsese also said, “To be able to tell this story on the land where these events took place is incredibly important and critical to allowing us to portray an accurate depiction of the time and people.”
As Scorsese is donning the director’s hat for this one, Leonardo DiCaprio will be producing the film with his own production company Appian Way Productions in association with Sikelia Productions and Imperative Entertainment. Though Killers of the Flower Moon does not yet have a release date, but we know that Apple will be the distribution partner of the film while Paramount will handle the movie’s worldwide theatrical release.
