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.
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
