Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

[Hoke Moseley]

EXCLUSIVE: The book was snatched last year after a bidding war for $5 million by Imperative Entertainment and now the Eric Roth feature film adaptation of David Grann’s book Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders And The Birth Of The FBI may end up with another few good men. We hear that Imperative is working right now to put together some A-listers for the big screen; first choices happen to be Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, and we hear the three are seriously considering it. Imperative partners Dan Friedkin and Bradley Thomas are producing.

Scorsese and De Niro have been huddling on The Irishman at Netflix, but there’s no completed deal yet.

Grann’s Killers Of The Flower Moon, which bows this week from Doubleday, tells the true crime story about multiple murders of members of the Osage Indian tribe in Oklahoma that occurred after they found oil on their lands. It is about conspiracy, greed and murder in the Indian nation — so bad the federal government had to step in. It also chronicles the rise of J. Edgar Hoover, who led the investigation into the murders and ended up making a name for himself.

No one involved would comment.

Scorsese and DiCaprio have worked together multiple times before with Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Shutter Island, The Departed and The Wolf Of Wall Street. In addition, they are both developing The Devil In The White City, also based on a critically acclaimed book. De Niro and Scorsese, of course, have teamed on such films as Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and The King Of Comedy.

Stay tuned.

Hopefully never. Besides Gangs of New York the rest of their collaborations have been excellent.

When he stops being bankable.

[Eman910]

Count me in for anything involving that trio.

[Galactus]

Get Pacino and Pesci too dammit!

[esteban²]

This would be great!

[Jasonic]

I've always wanted these two together in a Scorsese film, so I'm all for this.

Daniel Day-Lewis was amazing in Gangs of New York. It's worth watching for him alone.

Gangs of New York has some issues, but it's still a great movie. Hell, it could have been amazing with someone other than Cameron Diaz.

The only thing that keeps me from seeing it still. I can't stand Diaz.

[blufellas]

My all time favorite director, all time favorite actor, and my current favorite actor. What I'm trying to say is

This could be a great way to end his career: two of his muses for one last crime movie.

Me, too. While he's at it, Marty should also cast Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Daniel Day Lewis, Ray Liotta, Chuck Low, J.C. MacKenzie (Ludlow in The Aviator, the realtor in The Departed and Lucas Solomon in The Wolf Of Wall Street) Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Martin Sheen, Frank Sivero, Frank Vincent, Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. While we're at it, Amy Adams, Sandra Bullock, Lorraine Bracco, Judi Dench, Melissa Prophet (Nicky Santoro's wife, Jennifer Santoro in Casino), Margot Robbie, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep should be cast as well.

Too bad Pasquale Cajano and Don Rickles passed away. Otherwise, they could be cast, too.

Completely agreed on Daniel Day-Lewis. Such an underrated actor. His performance made the film There will be blood.

I just couldn't get into it. Its the only Scorsese film I didn't love. I only watched the first disc of the DVD. Maybe a second try is worth a shot
