Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorsese. Legends all. And who are now united in an effort to bring to life a grand and frightening story of a historical crime that shocked the very core of early 20th-century American society in the epic motion picture Killers of the Flower Moon.
Watch the first teaser trailer below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Based on David Grann’s broadly lauded best-selling book, Killers of the Flower Moon is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.
With grand themes of love, tragedy, greed and murder, Killers of the Flower Moon is Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese’s epic feature of the American West and how change and corruption ate away at its soul. Centred on returned WWI veteran Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) who returns from the war with little prospects soon finds himself in service to his ruthless uncle and cattle baron William Hale (DeNiro) whose own interests extend to Ernest’s wife, Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), a member of the local Osage Nation, whose own position in society soon places her in extreme danger.
With a production budget of $200 million and a running time of 206 minutes, Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic in the grand sense of the world and this is a truly cinematic work of art. This first footage and narrative mood that we are treated to in this opening teaser trailer sets the stage for a picture of immense scope and gigantic scale. This footage and its evocative narrative are a tribute to Scorsese’s immense talent as a filmmaker and we see all of his passion and focus in the resulting picture.
What audiences get with this picture is a narrative that delves into the malice and corruption that can eb brought to the American frontier and the very spirit of the American Dream at times. It appears to be a haunting picture of immense power and drama and audiences will feel their emotions move this grand cinematic experience.
Killers of the Flower Moon is set to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and there is much speculation and anticipation for its debut ahead of its global release in cinemas on October 17.
