Martin Scorsese & Leonardo DiCaprio's New Movie Release Date Revealed
Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's upcoming movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, now finally has an official release date set for this fall. After working with Netflix on The Irishman, Scorsese's next movie, a historical Western epic, sees the director team with Apple TV+. Killers of the Flower Moon marks Scorsese's highly-anticipated reunion with DiCaprio after the duo previously worked together on 2013's acclaimed The Wolf of Wall Street, with frequent collaborator Robert De Niro also starring.
Per a new report from IndieWire, Killers of the Flower Moon is now officially slated for a limited release on Friday, October 6, before its wide opening on Friday, October 20. It was previously reported that the film would debut at this year's Cannes Film Festival in May, but it's unclear if this is still the case.
What To Expect From Killers Of The Flower Moon
Set in the 1920s, Killers of the Flower Moon is based on a true story. The film follows an FBI investigation, led by a young J. Edgar Hoover, into the murders of the members of the Osage Nation in Northeastern Oklahoma after oil is discovered on their land. The Western crime drama boasts a massive reported budget of $200 million and was largely shot on location in the state of Oklahoma.
In addition to DiCaprio and De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon boasts an impressive cast, including the likes of Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, John Lithgow, and Brendan Fraser, who shared a touching recollection of his reunion with DiCaprio last fall. Many details remain unknown regarding Killers of the Flower Moon, but Gladstone previously revealed that the film was positively impacted by feedback from the Osage Nation. No trailer has been released thus far, but one promotional image from the movie was released last May, providing a first look at DiCaprio and Gladstone in the film.
With a release date now firmly set for this fall, it's possible that a Killers of the Flower trailer or teaser will be released in the coming months, finally providing a better idea of what to expect from the long-awaited movie and DiCaprio's expensive role in it. While many questions still remain regarding Killers of the Flower Moon, audiences now, at the very least, have a clear idea of when to expect the next movie from one of Hollywood's most iconic directors.
