Multiple sources are confirming that shooting has finally wrapped on Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film has been shooting in Oklahoma since April.
A seven-month shoot for the 78-year-old Scorsese does sound quite taxing. Alas, he’s now off to the editing room, with the legendary Thelma Schoonmaker, for what will likely be another 6 or so months of editing.
The film is an adaptation of David Grann's grisly murder-mystery novel, is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. The screenplay, written by Eric Roth, takes place in 1920s Oklahoma and tells the story of a corrupt FBI investigation on Osage Indians who suddenly start to get murdered.
There is currently no release date for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” but one assumes the possibility of a 2022 release primed and ready for Oscar season.
The short version: "Woman Unknown" was a compromise. The jury deadlocked over "Possible Love" and "NAZA," not able to com to terms, fell back on their #3, May el-Toukhy's film.
