Does Apple REALLY need to drop one more trailer for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Of course not. It’s already one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and it opens in just three days. So I’m not going to bore you with the details, especially since my review will be posting here in about five minutes.
You can look forward to a pair of Scorsese muses, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, starring the crime epic that tells the true story of murders of the wealthy Osage tribe for their oil rights in the 1920s. Also in the cast are Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, Tantoo Cardinal, and John Lithgow.
Here’s the synopsis: At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.
Killers of the Flower Moon opens in theaters on October 20th.
