The “Why We Wear Red” movement is used to bring awareness to the lack of Native women in film and media and is also linked to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Of course he wants that ass 🍑😏

Rodrigo Prieto Doesn't Deny Paul Thomas Anderson Rewrote ‘Killers of the Flower Moon'

“Killers of the Flower Moon” cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto was a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast and was asked about the “rumor” that Paul Thomas Anderson rewrote the film for Scorsese.

Maron initiated it by saying he had “heard a rumor” that PTA had done an uncredited rewrite. At first, Prieto played clueless, but Maron pushed him further by replying “oh come on, you know” — they both sneakily chuckled, no doubt at the unspoken truth of the matter, and Prieto finally relented with an ambiguous answer …

There were people involved in rejigging the story and Scorsese was very deep into that. Thats all I’ll say.

I guess Prieto was told, much like the rest of the ‘Killers’ crew, not to mention that PTA was part of the creative process. Call it a goodwill gesture on PTA’s part, towards one of his idols, Scorsese. In the end, only Eric Roth, who had written the original unused draft, got credited for the final screenplay, but was not Oscar-nominated.

You can check out the whole story behind this PTA/Scorsese/Killers team-up here. It’s most definitely not a “rumor,” it’s been corroborated.

Roth, who wrote the original ‘Killers’ screenplay, took a crack at the rewrites. However, at some point in the process, Paul Thomas Anderson was hired by Scorsese to take part in rewriting a good portion of the script. I’m actually surprised that this has not been reported yet by any of the trades.

Earlier in the year, after Charles Bramesco spilled the beans on X, I contacted a source of mine who told me that PTA definitely wrote “a big chunk” if not all of the final draft. Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells then checked in with a person who had ties to ‘Killers’, and his source didn’t pour water on the rumor either. He called PTA “an artist” and said “anything he may have done [rewrite-wise] could have only helped.”

Why Killers of the Flower Moon should win the best picture Oscar

Martin Scorsese has made the ultimate western, showing the racism, greed and corruption on which America was really founded. It’s a world-changing work

 

Ever since he started making films, 60-odd years ago, Martin Scorsese has always wanted to make a western; instead, he may have killed the genre. And that’s no small thing for this most American of forms. Over the past century, westerns have cemented the founding myths of American identity; how white settlers subjugated and massacred the continent’s indigenous population and tamed the wild west, with God and guns (and cinema) on their side. So it takes guts to unpick that mythology with a true story of just how evil and racist white Americans really were – especially in a political climate where such histories are being actively suppressed in the US. We’ve had plenty of “revisionist” westerns in recent years; you could call this a destructionist western. It cuts to the dark heart of colonialist greed and capitalist corruption on which America was really founded. In terms of revolutionary cinema, nothing else in this year’s Oscar crop can compete.

 

For the uninitiated, the setting is 1920s Oklahoma, where the discovery of oil on their land made the Osage Nation the richest people on the planet. The fact that they were required by law to have white guardians to help them manage their wealth is just the beginning of the injustice heaped upon them here. Robert De Niro’s two-faced patriarch William “King” Hale, hatches a plan for his dim nephew Ernest (Leonardo DiCaprio) to marry Osage heiress Mollie (Lily Gladstone), then systematically bump off her family and seize her oil rights – aided by pretty much the entire white community. Blinded by love, and wealth, Mollie and her people take far too long to figure out what’s really going on.

 

Beyond the radicalism of the story itself, the sheer scale, scope and stamina of Killers make many a younger film-maker look timid and weak. Some have criticised the film’s three-and-a-half-hour runtime as overindulgent, but it gives the movie time to slowly marinate in the madness and moral decay. By the time Ernest is injecting himself with the poison he’s been administering to Mollie, the two of them lying on the bed in a narcotic haze, as fire lights up the night sky outside, we’re almost untethered from reality completely. Until Jesse Plemons’ cowboy FBI agent rolls into town to break the spell and restore some sanity.

 

Scorsese is such a consummate film-maker it’s easy to take the movie’s craftsmanship for granted: the flawlessly grimy period detail, the roving camerawork, the painterly compositions, the flourishes of violence, the striking faces of even minor characters, the ominous, throbbing score – courtesy of the late Robbie Robertson. And at the heart of it all, DiCaprio and Gladstone commit to portraying the contradictions and self-deceptions of their bad romance. Gladstone, especially, gives us a performance the likes of which we’ve never really seen – beguilingly cool and composed, but palpably vulnerable under the surface. Even for the closing “what happened next?” coda, where most films would end in a flurry of expository text, Scorsese mounts an old-timey radio show recording – a nod, no doubt, to his own role in mediating history. This old dog is still learning new tricks.

 

Despite its authentic and respectful portrayals of Osage culture, some have criticised Killers for centring the white folks, but as Scorsese has been the first to point out, it’s not his place to speak for the Native American experience; all he can do is use his creative capital, and the celebrity of his lead actors, to shine a light on a shameful episode of American history that’s been largely forgotten (though not by the Osage themselves, of course). Nobody can forget it now. Killers of the Flower Moon has literally changed history. How many films can say that?

Still a race.

Paul Thomas Anderson's Next Film is Set in 1984 California

ABC10 journalist Mark S. Allen seems to know what Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is about, but he’s not dishing all the details out of respect for the cast and crew. However, he does divulge some interesting details …

In the video, Allen says the film takes place in Reagan-era 1984 and is being shot in some of the same places the former president inhabited during his time in Sacramento. So, it’s no coincidence that’s it’s being shot in Sacramento. He also says he believes the film will be released during the first quarter of 2025.

I have been theorizing, since March of 2023, that Anderson’s next film will be an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel “Vineland.” Allen’s intel, again, matches the rumors. Reagan, although not a central character in “Vineland,” looms large, all over Pynchon’s novel.

Here’s the synopsis for “Vineland”:

A group of Americans in Northern California in 1984 are struggling with the consequences of their lives in the sixties, still run by the passions of those times — sexual and political — which have refused to die. Among them is Zoyd Wheeler who is preparing for his annual act of televised insanity (for which he receives a government stipend) when an unwelcome face appears from out of his past.

Things just seem to be lining up in the direction of a Pynchon adaptation. There is no way to confirm it, and the trades would have already done that by now if they knew, but, at the very least, PTA’s latest must be partly inspired by the novel. They are filming at the same locations where “Vineland” takes place, and Leonardo DiCaprio has the same exact look as the character he’s supposed to be playing in the book, Zoyd Wheeler. Also, Wheeler’s daughter closely resembles actress Chase Infiniti who has been seen on-set with DiCaprio.

Oh, and on page 8 of “Vineland,” Zoyd says, "You called me, remember?" — in an on-set video taken by a fan, DiCaprio says practically the same line at the phone booth outside the grocery store.

It also looks as though the project is being shot, on film, spherically in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio by DP Michael Bauman. As we’ve seen from the leaked BTS footage, PTA’s latest has a lot of car chases, helicopters, police vehicles — the budget is said to be $115 million. With the already mentioned DiCaprio and Infiniti, some of the other actors taking part in the film include Sean Penn, Alan Haim and Teyana Taylor.

Oh, hence we have an explanation for the man bun 🤭. So the movie is set in 1984? Interesting...judging by their outfit in those pics, I thought it was set in recent times. I guess I'm confused now.🤣

@Pami I don't know anymore. People in the comments say it's def not playing in the 80s cause of the modern cars, weapons and iPhones extras were using while shooting.
