Martin Scorsese said he and Robert De Niro would ‘roll our eyes’ at some of Leonardo DiCaprio’s improv while filming ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro weren’t always impressed with Leonardo DiCaprio’s improv choices while filming Killers of the Flower Moon.
Based on David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon is a western crime saga based in 1920s Oklahoma on Osage Nation land. When Osage people begin getting murdered one by one after oil is found, the FBI steps in to investigate. Apple TV+ is distributing the film, which premieres in theaters on Friday, October 20.
Scorsese’s changes to the film ultimately prompted Paramount to pull their financing due to the increase in budget. When Apple TV+ eventually stepped in to provide the $200 million needed to produce the movie, Paramount rejoined as a theatrical distribution partner. In May, Osage Nation’s Chief Standing Bear reflected on the past events as a “deep betrayal” of his people during a Killers of the Flower Moon press conference.
