In an interview from e news with Leo she already talked about this project and that she had Leo's immense support for it. Maybe he is producing this?
oh yeah. I’ll have to go back and watch that interview but they both alluded to him working with her on it. -

I'm a bit irritated how apple wants to gain costumers with this movie when it's not even exclusive on their platform
I mean let’s be honest. This was always how Apple was going to make their money back. It was not even supposed to be released in movie theaters. The money coming from theaters is just bonus money to them. -
After my second viewing of KOTFM, I have to comment on the accent Cara Jade Myers used for Anna. I haven’t seen any comments about it anywhere, but I couldn’t help but notice the accent is not an Oklahoma accent at all. It’s more of a Georgia Southern Belle accent. With the dropped R’s and lilting cadence. It’s so obvious that it had to be a conscious choice between her and Marty. Perhaps it’s Anna putting on airs in a sense with her being a party girl with lots of money? Anyway, just found it an interesting character choice.

I’m posting this, even though I know that most here don’t really care about the many indigenous communities of Oklahoma outside of Leo and KOTFM, but I was glad to see Leo acknowledge that “it’s still going on” here today. We (Oklahoma indigenous) are experiencing a bit of a backlash since the release of the movie and this article that was published today explains one of the many recent assaults occurring on our communities right now. I’m still disgusted and offended that Oklahoma’s lieutenant governor was present at Cannes for the movie this year. “Can you spot the wolves in this picture?” If you are Oklahoma indigenous, you certainly can.

Quote from the article:
“I can’t help but feel the timing of Governor Stitt’s latest assault on sovereignty was uniquely tied to the release of “Killers of the Flower Moon.” I can’t help but think he’s behaved using the same tactics that The Devil and all the other white settlers used in dealing with the Osage 100 years ago. It is right out of the Hale playbook … Find any barely legal loophole to exploit and keep taking more and more.”

Interesting interview. Also, gives some insight into where some of the movie budget went (custom software, custom blanket reproductions, etc.). -
Thanks Akatosh and Jade!

“It’s still happening today.”I don’t post too much here about what is going on, because obviously this is a Leo site. However, if anyone is interested, Google what Oklahoma has started doing to tribes this past couple of weeks. Ticketing people with tribal tags if they are off tribal land. Our Governor has tried every way he knows to get our money. This is just his latest scheme.

Jade I read your comment about wondering what attributed to the $200 million budget, having seen the film we know it wasn't due to elaborate sets or special effects, so I would speculate that $100 million of it was due to the fees paid to Leo, DeNiro ,and Scorsese
They also paid big money for the huge houses each one stayed in during the long shoot. -

Thank you for all the news, videos, and pics!
As a psychologist serving the indigenous community and who deals with trauma, intimate partner violence, and PTSD on a daily basis, all this “but they loved each other” BS (especially from family members) has me pulling my hair out.
In other indigenous news, I got my Wilma Mankiller Barbie doll today.

Thanks for the sarcasm, that's not what I mean. But think whatever you want.
I don’t think that’s what you mean at all. I think you are just hurt by those of us who dare criticize the film. For what it’s worth, I very much enjoyed the film and loved Leo’s performance.

Ok, thanks for your opinion.
The movie should NOT have been done at ALL.
Your compelling argument has made me change my mind. If they weren’t going to be able to do it absolutely perfectly the first time they tried then why even bother. What is there to learn about being greedy and stealing other peoples’ lives and homelands away from them? What were they thinking? What a bunch of dumb asses! -

Great, I hope the movie, Scorsese, Leo, Lily and EVERYONE involved in this DOESN'T GET NOMINATED FOR ANY AWARD! And I'am not even kidding.
After all it seems this movie sucks, it's a BIG box office fail, it's too slow, it's horrible. Leo it's a bad actor, he can't do movies anymore guys, people hate him and his work, he should retire, he's a has been as Rick Dalton would say, guess it's happening. (Contain Irony).
Now, I think movies like this should STOP being made because no one is EVER satisfied. I'am not indigenous so I can't really judge from this perspective, but they worked with the Osage people and heck, they changed the script to make it more respectful, unfortunatelly It seems this was not enough...
I am indigenous and I believe I warned that the movie was likely to be whitewashed. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. It just means it’s a typical movie. With that being said, I’ve always had issues with Scorsese movies, because they lack female character development. Doesn’t mean he makes bad movies. Just means he wouldn’t be the director to go to if you want a female lead/cast.
I, personally, am able to recognize that this movie is great in some aspects and fails in others. Leo did his job and he did it well. The movie lacked indigenous character integration. I am able to hold both of these thoughts at the exact same time and be correct.

At least it's doing better overseas. My local cinema is still showing it in their biggest hall. Maybe I get my parents to watch it again with me tomorrow. Desperate times need desperate moves.
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Only Makes $9 Million in its Second Weekend
It's a real bummer to hear that Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” had a 61% dip this weekend, only grossing $9 million domestically. Its cumulative global intake now stands at around $88 million — on a $200 million budget (not counting marketing costs). It’s doing better business overseas where DiCaprio and Scorsese are big draws. Regardless, I don’t think Apple cares that much about these disappointing numbers (the company makes an average of $1 billion in profits every day). They greenlit ‘Killers’ for prestige and awards, but having a major star like DiCaprio in your film, not to mention great reviews, and barely making a dent at the box-office can only mean something went horribly wrong here.
I wonder if this is somewhat due to the long run time. My oldest sister refuses to see it at the theater because of this. She says she will wait for it to stream and be able to enjoy it in the comfort of her own home.
