Pretty cool but long article about how Luhrman gave Shakespeare a hip hollywood re birth and how no other of all following movies made the same cinematic impact like Luhrmans #power of leo When Leonardo DiCaprio And Romeo + Juliet Ushered In The Era Of Cool Shakespeare Before Leonardo DiCaprio was murdered by Rose DeWitt Bukater, he was Romeo. DiCaprio's role in Baz Luhrmann's bombastic "Romeo + Juliet" marked the beginning of his superstardom, and the film itself marked the beginning of the Cool Shakespeare boom of the 1990s. Suddenly, the Bard was hot again! Studios realized that if a beautiful, beautiful man like Leonardo DiCaprio could run around shouting in iambic pentameter and waving a gun while sobbing, there was room for more Stratford-upon-Avon badassery. Obviously, Shakespeare film adaptations were nothing new by the 1990s. And altering the time and setting of Shakespeare's plays has been going on pretty much since the works were penned (or, uh, quilled, I guess). But the '90s saw filmmakers twisting Shakespeare into pretzel shapes in the name of making it all so cool. This week sees the release of the ho-hum "Rosaline," which seems about two decades too late to cash in the Cool Shakespeare craze. But back in the '90s, the damn kids and their big jeans couldn't get enough of Shakespeare, baby! "Romeo" suffered plenty of slings and arrows from critics when it blasted into multiplexes in 1996, but that didn't matter to crowds, most of which were made up of people with cartoon hearts in their eyes as they looked at Leo. The pic hauled in 46.3 million in the United States and Canada, and has secured itself a nice little legacy. Luhrmann kept (most of) Shakespeare's text, but relocated the action of the star-crossed lovers to a type of alternate universe where the world is modern but everyone still says stuff like "Forswear its sight!" Everyone looks cool as hell, everyone has a gun, and the camera never, ever sits still as Romeo and Juliet (Claire Daines, overshadowed by DiCaprio's physical perfections) fall into doomed love. And it was only the beginning. My kingdom for a horse "Romeo + Juliet" was the film that broke the bank, but it was actually beaten to the Cool Shakespeare craze a year earlier, with Richard Loncraine's uber-stylish take on "Richard III," starring a deliciously wicked Ian McKellan as Richard (leading a swell cast that includes Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Robert Downey Jr., Kristin Scott Thomas, and Maggie Smith). McKellen, who co-wrote the adaptation with Loncraine, reconfigures the story of the mad king to a fascist Nazi Germany-like England in the 1930s. It's not nearly as sexy and cool as "Romeo," but it's bursting with the type of crazy inventiveness that more Shakespeare adapters should strive for. A year later, Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" came out swinging, blasting its guns (which have SWORD branded on their barrels) and shocking conservative parents everywhere. While "Richard III" was targeted at adult audiences, "Romeo + Juliet" was clearly aimed at the MTV generation. "Hey kids, Shakespeare is just as 'hip' and 'with it' as your favorite skateboard stars!" the film practically screams into your face. It also rules; we should all want more movies like this. Luhrmann's direction may give you a headache, but the film is so overloaded with stimulation that it begins to crack your mind in half. And while many of the actors (including DiCaprio) have no idea how to deliver lines in iambic pentameter, others (like John Leguizamo as Tybalt, and a scene-stealing Harold Perrineau as Mercutio) knock it out of the park, or The Globe Theatre, if you will. Nothing would ever come close to the mania of Luhrmann's flick, but not for lack of trying. You will never age for me, nor fade, nor die The same year that "Romeo + Juliet" bit its thumb at everyone, Kenneth Branagh brought forth a rather innovative take on "Hamlet." Since "Romeo + Juliet" was still relatively new, Branagh didn't get the memo that Shakespeare had to be cool now, man. Instead, the filmmaker did something no other movie had done before: kept the entirety of Shakespeare's text. Even the most faithful Shakespeare adaptations trim here and there, but Branagh kept it all, resulting in a film that clocks in at over 4 hours. While not as hip as "Romeo," Branagh's experiment, which relocates the action to the 19th century, is stunning. Sweeping, swooning, and boasting a ridiculously stacked cast that includes Derek Jacobi, Julie Christie, Kate Winslet, Robin Williams, Gérard Depardieu, Jack Lemmon, Billy Crystal, Charlton Heston, Richard Attenborough, Judi Dench, John Gielgud and more, it's one of the best Shakespeare movies ever (I said it). But the film that further increased the '90s Shakespeare bubble was 1998's "Shakespeare in Love." Much ink has been spilled about this film, most of it negative. For one thing, it's forever associated with the Weinsteins, who reportedly used every trick in the book to earn the film a Best Picture Oscar (when most people thought "Saving Private Ryan" should've won). But here's the thing: despite its reputation, "Shakespeare in Love" is a wonderful little film. The story finds a blocked William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) struggling to write his latest play, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." Eventually, our man Shakespeare falls in love with noblewoman Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow). Viola happens to be a Shakespeare superfan, and decides to go undercover as a man in order to star in Shakespeare's latest play, which slowly transforms into "Romeo and Juliet." It's an unapologetically romantic and charming film and a meta-feast for Shakespeare nerds. But the era of Cool Shakespeare would truly be cemented a year later, as the Bard headed to high school. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you In 1999's "10 Things I Hate About You," screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith rework "The Taming of the Shrew" into a high school setting. The end result is a funny film that's also so painfully '90s you can practically smell the pogs. While you could argue it was "Clueless," with its high school take on "Jane Austen's "Emma," that really inspired "10 Things," the aroma of the Cool Shakespeare era is all over this thing. In place of beautiful Leonardo DiCaprio, we have beautiful Heath Ledger, playing the coolest high schooler of all time (he smokes cigarettes). Ledger is Patrick Verona (get it? Verona? Like the place?), a cool kid who is paid to date Julia Styles' Kat Stratford (get it? Stratford? Like the place?), a hardcore feminist who has no time for the high school dweebs around her. The scheme is cooked up because Kat's younger sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is forbidden from dating cute guy Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) unless Kat dates first. It's a transaction, but of course, Patrick falls in love with the tough Kat, and she falls for him, too — until she discovers the whole "he's paid to date you" scheme. Bursting with bootcut jeans and Letters to Cleo, "10 Things I Hate About You" has earned its title in the pantheon of nostalgic teen comedies. And the Shakespeare trend rolled on, all the way to Blockbuster Video. Hamlet in the video store The same year "10 Things I Hate About You" was rocking the suburbs, two other Shakespeare pics arrived. One was another effort from Branagh — a rather forgettable adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The other was far more successful, at least artistically. Julie Taymor's "Titus" took one of Shakespeare's most-loathed plays, "Titus Andronicus," and set it in a world that feels horrifying and theatrical. Gory and overloaded with strange costumes and even stranger makeup, it's one of the most interesting modern Shakespeare pics, but it barely made a dent at the time. Besides, there were still cooler things to come. The '90s came to an end (although one could argue the '90s didn't really end until the September 11th attacks in 2001), we all managed to survive Y2K, and 2000 brought "Hamlet" back to the screen. Michael Almereyda's take on Billy Shakes' most famous play followed the "Romeo + Juliet" mold of using Shakespeare's text in a modern setting. But where "Romeo" was all over the place, Almereyda's film is far more subdued. No longer a great Dane, Hamlet is now the heir to the Denmark Corporation (ugh). Played with intense brooding by Ethan Hawke, "Hamlet" wanders about, tragic and mad about his father's murder. And hey, Julia Stiles is back! This time, she plays the doomed Ophelia, who drowns herself in the fountain of a lobby instead of a brook. Almereyda's is far too low-key for its own good, but its one truly memorable flourish involves Hamlet delivering the famous "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in a Blockbuster Video, presumably right before he rented a copy of "Fight Club" on VHS. Heaven and men and devils and basketball As 2000 marched on, the Cool Shakespeare era had all but shuffled off to the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveler returns. But there were some stragglers. Branagh tried once again to get in on the action with a musical take on "Love's Labour's Lost" in 2000. A year later, director Tim Blake Nelson took "Othello" and reworked it as "O," set it in a modern-day preschool. And oh yeah, basketball was a big part of the movie, as the Othello figure (now named Odin James, played by Mekhi Phifer) is a star basketball player. Odin is accused of sexually assaulting his girlfriend Desi (Julia Styles, yet again), but all of this is a scheme being manipulated by evil high schooler classmate Hugo (Josh Hartnett). "O" is one of the darker films from this Shakespeare era, and has no room for the slick coolness of its predecessors. Which probably explains why almost no one talks about it these days. The case can be made that the Cool Shakespeare era finally ended in 2006, with "She's The Man," a questionable update on "Twelfth Night" starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. The comedy badly wants to be "10 Things I Hate About You," but it really, really isn't. It also barely broke even at the box office, which more or less signaled the last gasp of Cool Shakespeare. Adaptations would continue, and some would be damn good (the recent expressionist-heavy "The Tragedy of Macbeth," with Denzel Washington, is phenomenal). But the days of Shakespeare being cool as hell feel long gone. Probably because there's no modern-day Leonardo DiCaprio, with his dreamy bangs and questionable grasp on iambic pentameter, to revive it. Source Rosaline (2022) now available on disney and hulu

Bella Hadid tells sister Gigi 'she's too good for playboy Leonardo DiCaprio' Supermodel Bella Hadid is said to have doubts about her sister Gigi's reported romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, saying the mum-of-one is 'too good' for the actor Bella Hadid has reportedly told her sister Gigi she's 'too good' for Leonardo DiCaprio after the pair were rumoured to be dating. The supermodel, 27, is said to be 'taking things slow' with the Titanic star, 47, after they were papped looking cosy in New York last month. However, Gigi's younger sister Bella, 26, is said to have her doubts about the relationship, telling the mum-of-one she and Leo are "ill-suited". A source said: "Bella thinks that Gigi's too good for Leo, and the way he leapt to Gigi seemingly without a thought for his previous girlfriend gives Bella the shivers." The source added to Heat magazine: "Her worry is that Gigi could wind up hurt and embarrassed." Leo split suddenly from 25-year old Camila Morrone this summer after four years together. Before the breakup, the actress hit back at questions about the couple's 22-year age gap after years of being trolled. However, at just two years her senior, Gigi isn't exactly past it. The daughter of Real Housewives star Yolanda Hadid shares a daughter, Khai, with her ex, Zayn Malik. In the wake of the Leo rumours, auntie Bella reportedly thinks Gigi should be focusing on her role as a mum and not getting caught up with one of Hollywood's "biggest model chasers". Despite this, the source conceded that Gigi is going to carry on seeing the actor even though her sister and the rest of her family "don't like him". The Mirror has contacted reps for Bella and Leonardo. Hollywood superstar Leo has never publicly dated anyone over the age of 25 years old. And a psychologist reckons there's a good reason why. Emma Kenny claimed: "He is in a highly unusual position, which allows him to pick and choose whoever he wishes to be with until he grows either bored, or recognises that his partner wishes to move to more secure ground through marriage, or by having children," she told The Sun. However, Gigi is a doting mum to Khai, whose father Zayn fell out with the Hadids after an explosive row with his now ex-girlfriend's mother, Yolanda. Source Also this blast from the past if true LMAO Bella Hadid shrugs off Leonardo DiCaprio's romantic advances Bella Hadid has reportedly turned down the advances of one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors - Leonardo DiCaprio. The 20-year-old model was pictured in Cannes partying with the Oscar-winning actor, and according to a report the pair even swapped numbers. The 42-year-old The Revenant actor recently split from his latest in a line of model girlfriends, Nina Agdal, while Bella has been nursing a broken heart since the end of her relationship with singer The Weeknd last year (16). So with them both single, it seemed that the stars were about to align, at least Leonardo may have thought so. But according to a pal close to the catwalk star, Bella isn't so keen. "Leo is so not her type," an insider told Heat magazine. "Bella thinks he's ancient. She really likes edgy musicians, so I think she finds him bland." It's not surprising that 'modelizer' Leo has got the top model, and sister of Gigi Hadid, in his sights. His past conquests include Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen, and Israeli model Bar Refaeli. In a bid to woo Bella, Leonardo reportedly sent the Victoria's Secret model "£3,500 worth of lingerie, 36 white roses and a bottle of Champagne". "Apparently Leo kept messaging Bella, inviting her on to his yacht for a private trip," the insider added, but Bella has dismissed the approaches and gave the swag away. "Bella gave it all to the hotel staff and friends and sent a message to Leo saying maybe he should focus on someone else, as she is happy being single right now." Or maybe she's just not that into Leonardo, as the Nike brand ambassador has apparently been Insta-stalking British boxing champion Anthony Joshua, enjoying fun times on Lewis Hamilton's yacht and hanging out with model Jordan Barrett.

‘Gangs Of New York’ TV Series In Works At Miramax With Writer Brett Leonard; Martin Scorsese To Direct EXCLUSIVE: A high-profile TV series project from Miramax Television based on Herbert Asbury’s 1927 non-fiction book The Gangs of New York is about to hit the premium/streaming marketplace. Oscar winner Martin Scorsese, who directed the 2002 feature adaptation of the book, is attached to executive produce the potential series and direct the first two episodes. Details about the drama, from playwright/TV writer Brett Leonard (Shantaram), are sketchy but I hear this is a new take on the story with new characters that were not featured in the movie, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz. Asbury’s book details the confrontations between rival gangs in New York in the mid- to late-1800s, prior to the domination of the Italian-American Mafia during Prohibition in the 1920s. That latter period was the subject of HBO’s drama Boardwalk Empire, which Scorsese executive produced and won an Emmy for directing the pilot episode. I hear Scorsese responded to Leonard’s script, which had been developed internally at Miramax TV, and came on board as an executive producer and director. Also executive producing the series are Leonard and Scorsese’s managers Rick Yorn and Chris Donnelly. The project will be taken out to buyers later this month. Scorsese was previously attached to a different TV series adaptation of The Gangs Of New York, whose development was announced by rights holder Miramax and GK Films in 2013. It was to follow organized gangs not only in New York but in other cities such as Chicago and New Orleans and chronicle the birth of organized crime in America. “This time and era of America’s history and heritage is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film,” Scorsese said at the time of that announcement. “A television series allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life.” A member of the LAByrinth Theater Company of New York City, Leonard is known for his play The Long Red Road whose staging at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago was directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman and starred Tom Hardy. Leonard worked on Hardy’s FX series Taboo. His TV series credits also include AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead and Low Winter Sun as well as the upcoming Apple TV+ drama Shantaram. He is repped by WME. Scorsese’s latest documentary, Personality Crisis: One Night Only, had a world premiere at the New York Film Festival last night. His next feature, Killers Of the Flower Moon, is expected to premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. In TV, Scorsese is executive producing the upcoming Hulu limited series The Devil In the White City. He is repped by WME, LBI Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller. Source

Lainey (or Sarah on Lainey) has her own conspiracy theory on TDITWC. It's kinda funny even though she blames Leo for not letting happen the project - like this site usually does LOL The Devil in the White City is my white whale All I want in this stupid world is for SOMEONE to develop a movie or limited series based on The Devil in the White City that we will ACTUALLY get to see. Following the announcement back in August that Keanu Reeves would star in a limited series for Hulu, to be directed (at least in part) by Todd Field, and produced by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu has left the project. And worse! Todd Field, riding high on the ecstatic reception of his long-gestating third film, Tár, has also left the project. So now The Devil in the White City is back to square one, with Scorsese and DiCaprio still attached to produce, but no star and no director(s). Leonardo DiCaprio refuses to do two things, 1) date women over 25, and 2) make The Devil in the White City. Keanu was going to play architect Daniel Burnham, by the way. I cannot see that at all, but now I will be haunted forever by the possibilities. This is my white whale, I am going to die wishing for an adaptation of The Devil in the White City, one of the very few true crime stories that is inherently cinematic and ripe for adaptation. I actually have a conspiracy theory about what just happened. DiCaprio bought the film rights back in 2010, and he’s been squatting on them ever since like Smaug hoarding gold. In order to retain film rights, though, you have to keep the project in active development. That is a broad, almost meaningless classification, but it basically means that in some capacity, you have to be working toward completing a screen adaptation that people can actually watch. You can’t just buy rights and sit on them forever; the point of optioning the rights to a book, article, podcast, what have you, is to make something out of it. For instance, the rights to Daredevil reverted to Marvel back in 2013 after Fox failed to get a new movie project off the ground by their October 2012 deadline. Marvel, then, was able to develop a new TV show based on the character. Given that Keanu came onto and fell off this project in just two months, and that Field departed, too, my conspiracy theory is that there was never any intention to adapt White City with Keanu. It was a hasty deal to keep the rights, and once it became clear there was no there there, Reeves left, with Field following for similar reason. My evidence: none. I mean, besides the fact they never found a Holmes to pair with Reeves’ Burnham. You think they would be casting those two fairly close together, as they are the narrative anchors of the whole thing. Those are your stars, your leading couple, if you will. But other than that, this is just my cynicism speaking because every few years, news about White City flares up and then dies down and nothing ever comes of any it, but DiCaprio keeps that option that prevents anyone else from, you know, actually making the thing. It happened in 2015, it happened in 2019, it happened in 2022. Hulu has this show dated for sometime in 2024, but I’d probably die of shock if it actually happens. At this rate, DiCaprio will actually commit to Gigi Hadid before he does The Devil in the White City. Source

Status Update on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Yesterday’s “Napoleon” news came with a nicely added update I received on “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Supposedly, the film is much more ready than “Napoleon.” Then why doesn’t Apple release the damn thing? They want a contender this year and “Emancipation” isn’t the answer. Supposedly, “Napoleon” isn’t either. My source thinks it might be because Marty doesn’t want to take on Spielberg. It’s Spielberg’s year, they claim. If that’s the case, then it’s an extremely lame excuse. I don’t think that would stop Apple. Have Scorsese and Apple purposely decided to withdraw from the Oscar sweepstakes because of Spielberg’s ‘Fabelmans’? ‘Killers’ was all set to have a teaser released in August and then came Scorsese’s call for minor reshoots in NYC, mostly having to do with the film’s coda. Production on “Killers of the Flower Moon” ended almost 12 months ago. There is no way ‘Killers’ wouldn’t be ready by the end of December in some way shape or form. If the plan really is to just delay any sort of 2022 unveiling for a Cannes world premiere, then I wouldn’t complain, I’ve always wanted to catch a Scorsese world premiere at Cannes. However, delaying a film this way only brings about more questions about its status and if the film does indeed premiere at Cannes then it would have been a whopping 20 months since shooting wrapped. For the most part, Scorsese’s films have had a rather lengthy post-production process, but a ‘Killers’ Cannes debut would match his post-production length record: Shutter Island (20 months), Silence (19 months), The Irishman (18 months), Hugo (15 months), The Age of Innocence (15 months), The Departed (13 months), The Aviator (13 months), Goodfellas (13 months), and Wolf of Wall Street (11 months)

Damn I would love to see some pics of this reunion. They're so gorgeous I don't know where to start 😭

He looks so good 😚

Again not really news about KOTFM but director Joanna Hogg talking about Marty being generous with his time while doing KOTFM (no wonder things are going so slow LOL) (...) Early in the process, she asked executive producer Martin Scorsese to recommend her ghost stories; he suggested “They,” by Rudyard Kipling, which Hogg says “unlock[ed] the dynamics” of the film and then various others deeper into production. “He watched so many different cuts of the film, and this was all while he was making [Killers of the Flower Moon] in Oklahoma,” Hogg says. “He was incredibly generous with his time when he had so much going on of his own.” Source

KOTFM update. As for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” I’m still being told that Scorsese’s film could be a possibility. “It’s ready when it’s ready” seems to be the quote I keep getting. And that’s fine, but Apple currently has no big player in the Oscar race this year, unless you believe “Cha Cha Real Smooth” has a shot. Source Like Marty gives a shit about Leos love life or some crazy people who constantly create drama around a strangers life omg just give me a break from such stupidity. It seems never ending these days and I'm slowly wondering does it hurt actually????? 🙄

This 💯

^Everyone wants his attention. Of course she wants his attention when she's into him LOL This is how human interactions work.

No news but at the least the shooting did something good for Bartlesville lol ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ production gives Bartlesville multi-million dollar boost BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Tourism bosses in Bartlesville said the filming of “Killers of the Flower Moon” gave the city a multi-million dollar boost. New figures are out and show that the Martin Scorsese movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, had a $35 million impact on Bartlesville. “We have definitely had a fantastic year and it was due in large part to the fact that we were able to be the host for the production office for ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’,” said Maria Gus, Executive Director of Visit Bartlesville. “In that about 18 months that the film has been visiting the area we estimate that there was about a 35 million dollar economic impact,” she continued. The movie was mainly filmed in Pawhuska, Fairfax and Tulsa over about 18 months, but the production crew’s base was in Bartlesville. “They had three hotels that were completely booked for the entire time that they were here, that’s a huge amount of lodging tax and sales tax that’s coming in,” Gus said. “They were using vendors that were Oklahoma vendors, they were using a lot of crew that were from Oklahoma,” she continued. The new figures said overall the city raked up around $35 million in tourism because of the filming, an 148% return on the city’s investment. “That’s actual tax dollars that are coming back into the community and helping us build our infrastructure and do better things for the community, and that’s what tourism is all about, we want to help people tell stories, certainly that’s what happens in the film industry, but we also want to make sure that people in Bartlesville are getting a return on investment,” Gus said. Gus said the movie has helped Bartlesville bounce back from the pandemic and she hopes after the film comes out even more people will want to visit. “I do hope that we get a boost after the film comes out, what I hope most of all is that our friends and neighbors with the Osage tribe and in Osage County that they are able to not only tell this tragic story but use this as a way to educate people about their tribe and how much they have grown and succeeded after having this awful piece of history happen to them,” Gus said. Gus said they want to build on the success of the economic impact from the film and bring more tourists to the Bartlesville. “We don’t have another Martin Scorsese film on the books, so we hope what we’re able to do is really spring board off of that success and grow our reach and invite more people to come visit us in Bartlesville,” Gus said. “Killers of the Flower Moon” is anticipated to be released in 2023, though a specific date has not been set.

(sry if repost)

^Love those pics of them 😍 Thx for sharing the article @kellybsblover and big kudos to Kristen to stand up for Leo Everyone else who is judging a person (in this case Leo) you know literally nothing about but some little distant moments should be utterly ashamed. It's just the lowest saddest most wrong behaviour on social media and in general and I hope none of you will ever expierence such a hurtful hunt. I'm so disappointed in people right now and I can't believe someone here is truly thinking Leo deserved this awful disrespectful treatment while the same person is calling themself a fan of him. None of this makes any sense to me.

Omg love this look Are there more pics of this era/look??? 😍

😄

Thanks. I agree 💯 and bless your true fan heart. That's all

Just some more pics of Leos pap stroll (is he wearing allbirds? LOL). However thx for that grumpy Leo I also can't believe they mentioned his weight again. What is it with press and people in general fatshaming this man for decades???

^because the silly 25 myth is just that. It's nonsense. I can't believe people are actually thinking that someone (Leo) is dumping women systematically when they reach a certain age like wth? Is he sitting there with a stop watch while waiting? LOL Beside from this Leo isn't always the one who ended those relationships. So maybe Cami dumped him, who knows? Or maybe they're still together.

Deux is still insisting in the podcast he's "dating" Gigi.

^Didn't know he's friends with Selma and her husband. Even though...

This article states nothing new BUT it's just online for a couple of hours and trending on the site. Looks like everyone is rooting for KOTFM ☺️ Oscar buzz is already around Killers of the Flower Moon It hasn’t even been released yet! Here is all the information you want on the movie, which is based on a well-known non-fiction book. The second half of 2022 will see the release of a number of intriguing films. That includes the acclaimed Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon, which is based on a nonfiction book and has an all-star ensemble. The movie is an American Western criminal drama, and reviewers anticipate it to be a major smash. At the 2023 Academy Awards, Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be a strong candidate. Here is all the information you need to know about the movie, such as the release date, the cast, and other details. In November 2022, Killers of the Flower Moon is anticipated to be released. A precise release date has not yet been declared. The movie is available for viewing in theatres as well as on Apple TV+ at home. In March 2016, Imperative Entertainment outbid other parties for the rights to the movie and paid a $5 million price. The COVID-19 epidemic caused a delay in production that was originally scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2020. Oklahoma’s official start date for filming is April 19, 2021. Who Plays What Roles in the Film “Killers of the Flower Moon”? William Hale, played by Robert De Niro. This is Scorsese and De Niro’s eleventh movie together. Ernest Burkhart, William’s ethically ambiguous nephew, is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. Jesse Plemons plays Tom White, the top FBI agent. The spouse of Ernest is Lily Gladstone. Killers of the Flower Moon is under the direction of Martin Scorsese. Nine times he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, and only once for The Departed did he take home the prize. Together with Eric Roth, who won the Oscar for writing the script for Forrest Gump, he co-wrote it. Additionally, Scorsese will work once more with Rodrigo Prieto, the film’s director of photography. The Irishman, Silence, and The Wolf of Wall Street are a few of the previous works by the duo. The last two movies garnered Rodrigo nominations for Oscars. What’s the Story of the Film? The 2017 nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann served as the basis for the film Killers of the Flower Moon. The movie will centre on a string of killings that happened in the 1920s in Oklahoma’s Osage Nation, a Native American band when oil was found on tribal grounds. The FBI, which had just been established, became interested in the killings, which were planned by cattleman William Hale. The FBI’s perspective on their investigation into the killings is anticipated to be presented in Scorsese’s film. Source
