Martin Scorsese’s Western Crime Drama ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’ Lands Global Wide Release On October 20

Many film fans are extremely excited about the prospect of a new Martin Scorsese film is just around the corner with “Killers of The Flower Moon” heading to theaters this fall and there has been an exciting development on that front. Today, it was announced by Apple that the film will no longer have a limited release date as that has since been replaced with a global-wide release on October 20. Securing audiences will be able to see the film in a theatrical setting and that includes the IMAX format, before its streaming debut on Apple TV+ later on.

Just yesterday, it was revealed by “Killers of The Moon” author David Grann that the next film Scorsese will be making is an adaptation of Grann’s shipwreck novel “The Wager” which already has the backing of Apple Original Films and will see Marty’s longtime muse DiCaprio take the lead role for their seventh movie together.

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. Also starring Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, and Jillian Dion, Killers of the Flower Moon is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

There is news via The Hollywood Reporter that Leonardo DiCaprio will be taking a different role in Martin Scorsese’s expensive thriller Killers of The Flower Moon as Jesse Plemons is reportedly taking over Leo’s part of FBI Agent Tom White.

DiCaprio will instead play Ernest Burkhart, the nephew if powerful rancher played by Robert De Niro and the husband of Lily Gladstone’s Mollie.

Based on David Grann’s best-selling book, the Apple Original Film adaptation takes place in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts a string of brutal murders of Osage Nation Native Americans, which came to be known as the Reign of Terror. The Osage Nation, who were the richest people per capita in the world, were killed one by one after oil was discovered on their land. As the death toll rose, the newly-created FBI took up the case and unraveled a chilling conspiracy and one of the most monstrous crimes in American history.

Plemons is best known for his television work on shows such as AMC’s Breaking Bad and FX’s Fargo, he recently worked on the Netflix drama I’m Thinking of Ending Things and Martin Scorsese’s gangster flick The Irishman.
