Martin Scorsese had a big day at CinemaCon, debuting the first trailer for 'Killers of the Flower Moon' and chatting with star Leonardo Di Caprio.
They discussed everything from influences on his work to how Scorsese first fell in love with movies as a sickly kid with whooping cough, and the two frequent collaborators also talked about the significance of their new movie"Killers" .The first footage dug into the mystery and tragedy of the real-life story set in the 1920s. DiCaprio stars as Ernest Burkhart, an Oklahoma man who loves and marries Mollie , a member of the Osage Nation.
The movie is based on David Grann's 2017 book, and DiCaprio read from a note Grann sent along about the film:"It is an American crime story that is less about who did it than who didn't do it. It's about widespread complicity and conspiracy, and ultimately it's about reckoning with our past that is long overdue.
It was important to Scorsese that the movie be filmed on the land where the events took place and also not center it on the"good guys" – the FBI and law enforcement that comes in – but instead Mollie and Ernest."That's where the heart of the picture is," Scorsese said. "There's love and there's murder. It's about winning. It's all about greed," he added."And the only way to do it was to go there and stay there and be with the Osage.""I’m a New Yorker and there are prairies out there. Wild horses, coyotes, whatever,” he said. “We immersed ourselves in it and tried to do right by them as much as possible."
