Final “Killers of the Flower Moon” Trailer Released


Ahead of the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters around the world, including IMAX® theaters, this Friday, October 20, Apple Original Films today unveiled the final trailer for the upcoming feature film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone.

Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), Killers of the Flower Moon tracks the suspicious murders of members of the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight after oil was discovered underneath their land. Killers of the Flower Moon also stars Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, and is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

Eight Things You Might Not Know About Killers of the Flower Moon

  1. Killers of the Flower Moon is a true crime thriller based on one of the earliest homicide cases the FBI ever took on when the organization was first created by J. Edward Hoover.
  2. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone all learned to speak Osage for the film.
  3. While Martin Scorsese has collaborated with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio on 16 films, Killers of the Flower Moon marks the first time all three have worked together on the same picture — and, it’s the first time in 30 years that Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro have acted in a film together, after their first collaboration in This Boy’s Life.
  4. This is Martin Scorsese’s twenty-first feature film collaboration with editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Their working relationship has spanned seven decades, and Thelma is the only woman to ever receive three Oscars in the Editing category (Raging Bull, The Aviator, and The Departed).
  5. The film’s director of photography, Rodrigo Prieto, served as cinematographer for three music videos for superstar Taylor Swift – “The Man,” “Cardigan,” and “Willow.”
  6. Paul Thomas Anderson suggested Jack Fisk to Scorsese for this project after collaborating with him on There Will Be Blood, which also takes place in the 1920s. Fisk builds his sets from scratch rather than utilizing sound stages or computer generated models: both Hale’s house and Mollie’s “country” house were built from the ground up.
  7. The character that Jesse Plemons plays, Tom White, was an actual Texas Ranger and one of the only FBI agents that J. Edgar Hoover allowed to wear a cowboy hat.
  8. Many of the costumes incorporated pieces the Osage actors brought from home which belonged to their grandparents, who lived during the time period depicted in the film.
