Ahead of the film’s October release, Apple has shared a first look at best actress hopeful Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon.
In the clip, Gladstone goes toe-to-toe with Leonardo DiCaprio, playing recently returned war veteran Ernest Burkhart who is aggressively trying to court Gladstone’s Mollie.
The Martin Scorsese-directed historical epic, based on the David Grann novel of the same name, chronicles a series of murders of the Osage people following an oil boom and the subsequent FBI investigations into the killings, which became known as the Reign of Terror. Mollie and Ernest sit at the center of the story, which follows their relationship as Mollie’s family members become victims of the murders.
“The revelation for many will be the wondrous Lily Gladstone as Mollie Kyle, the woman unfortunate enough to marry gold-digger Ernest,” reads The Hollywood Reporter review of the movie out of the Cannes Film Festival.

For Martin Scorsese and the Osage Nation’s Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear, cultural respect was key to the filmmaker’s upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon.
“We greatly respected the way David Grann put his skills to a well-researched book and the way he met with our elders. We were comfortable with what came out,” said Standing Bear during a press conference with Scorsese of Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book on which the Scorsese film is based.
The book chronicles a series of murders of the Osage people following an oil boom and the subsequent FBI investigations into the killings, which became known as the Reign of Terror. When he heard that the film rights to the book had been sold, he and others in the Osage Nation were concerned.
“Historically the native peoples went to Hollywood to get work as extras in a band of Indians in black and white movies,...

Lily Gladstone, the Native American actress who plays Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, has been receiving rave reviews for her portrayal of an Osage woman whose family is targeted by a ruthless conspiracy in 1920s Oklahoma. Based on the true story and the best-selling book by David Grann, the film explores the dark history of the Osage murders, also known as the Reign of Terror, when hundreds of Native Americans were killed for their oil wealth.
Gladstone, who is of Blackfeet and Nimíipuu heritage, was cast by Scorsese after he saw her work in Kelly Reichardt’s indie drama Certain Women, where she played a lonely ranch hand who develops a crush on a lawyer (Kristen Stewart). Scorsese was impressed by her natural and nuanced performance, and invited her to a Zoom meeting to offer her the role of Mollie, who is married to...

Updated to clarify: Leonardo DiCaprio has only words of praise for Killers of the Flower Moon breakout star Lily Gladstone.
In the film, DiCaprio and Gladstone portray real-life husband and wife Ernest and Mollie Burkhart, a couple living on the Osage Reservation in 1920s Oklahoma, a tumultuous time in history. Gladstone herself is Native American, and grew up on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation near the Montana-Canada border.
“Lily is absolutely astonishing in this movie,” DiCaprio told British Vogue in its October cover story featuring DiCaprio and Gladstone “She carries the entire film and the story.”
Gladstone initially did a selftape audition before Covid shut everything down, she previously told Interview magazine. She said the project had gone quiet and she assumed she had blown the audition, but got a request to Zoom with Scorsese about a year later. DiCaprio was not on that call, and she did not do a reading with the actor,...

Leonardo DiCaprio finally weighed in on the massive “Killers of the Flower Moon” rewrite that changed the direction of Martin Scorsese’s latest historical epic. The script originally centered on FBI agent Tom White, who DiCaprio was supposed to play, as he investigates a string of murders among the Osage Nation in the 1920s. That perspective kept the film in line with the majority of David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name, but something about telling “Flower Moon” from the FBI’s point of view did not sit right with DiCaprio or Scorsese.
“It just didn’t feel like it got to the heart of it,” DiCaprio recently told British Vogue in a joint interview with co-star Lily Gladstone. “We weren’t immersed in the Osage story. There was this tiny, small scene between Mollie and Ernest that provoked such emotion in us at the reading, and we just...

Leonardo DiCaprio and his Killers of the Flower Moon co-star Lily Gladstone have teamed once again, this time as cover stars for the October issue of British Vogue.
In an interview conducted ahead of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the two open up about their collaboration in Martin Scorsese’s epic story in which they play real-life husband and wife Ernest and Mollie Burkhart, a couple living on the Osage Reservation in 1920s Oklahoma amid a tragic time. It’s a rare showing for DiCaprio, who rarely sits for lengthy interviews or covers. He does so this time with Gladstone for writer Afua Hirsch and a shoot by photographer Craig McDean with styling by the mag’s Edward Enninful.
“Lily is absolutely astonishing in this movie,” the Oscar winner says of Gladstone. “She carries the entire film and the story.” He also says that Scorsese knew straight away that she...

Damn! Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon trailer is lighting up monitors today with a compelling look at the legendary filmmaker’s latest drama. Directed by Scorsese and written for the screen by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.
In today’s Killers of the Flower Moon trailer, DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart joins his uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro) in draining the Osage tribe’s oil-rich land while corrupting the territory in the interest of wealth and power.

You're never going to believe it, but it looks like Martin Scorsese made another great film. The legendary director's latest, "Killers of the Flower Moon," premiered to critical raves earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival, with Lex Briscuso heralding it as "a cautionary masterpiece on the insidiousness of white men" in her review for /Film. That's more or less the same vibe as the film's new trailer, which focuses on the ... well, let's call it the complicated relationship between the film's protagonist, Leonardo DiCaprio's Ernest Burkhart, his Indigenous American wife Mollie (Lily Gladstone), and Ernest's uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro), a white-haired fellow with a twinkle in his eye but more than a hint of maliciousness in his manner.

Martin Scorsese is on the cover of Time magazine ahead of the release of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and he briefly opened up on the film’s extensive rewrites. “Flower Moon” is based on David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book about the FBI’s investigation into a string of murders among the Osage Nation in the early 1920s. Originally, Scorsese and co-writer Eric Roth centered their film adaptation around this narrative, with Leonardo DiCaprio set to play the head FBI investigator, Tom White.
“After a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys,” Scorsese told Time. “Meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”
Scorsese and Roth decided to overhaul their entire “Flower Moon” script to change the perspective of the film. DiCaprio would switch roles to play the morally gray Ernest Burkhart, a World War I veteran who...

When “Killers of the Flower Moon” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in June, early reviews and awards pundits singled out Lily Gladstone as the film’s breakout star. Now, with the film weeks away from theatrical release and the hype machine revving up once again, director Martin Scorsese is speaking out about his acclaimed collaborator.
In an interview with Time, Scorsese explained why he tweaked the adaptation of David Grann’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” to focus on the relationship between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Gladstone) rather than the birth of the FBI.
“After a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys,” Scorsese told Time. “Meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”
With the script changed, Scorsese said Gladstone’s performance was allowed to flourish. There’s “a fierceness and serenity at...

Lily Gladstone spoke to her “Certain Women” director Kelly Reichardt for Interview magazine (before the SAG-AFTRA strike) and confirmed reports that Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” underwent significant rewrites during its development. The script changed so much that the scene Gladstone was given for her audition got reduced from three pages of straight dialogue to “a scene that had minimal dialogue.”
“Before the rewrites, I had three pages of some pretty mouthy dialogue,” Gladstone said about the “Flower Moon” audition process. “But I was struggling so much with the scenes that when Covid shut everything down and the project went quiet for a minute, I assumed that I’d blown the audition. About a year later, I got a request to Zoom with Martin Scorsese.”
“And then I got new sides sent to me that had beats,” she continued. “Suddenly it was a scene that had minimal...

Late in the action of Martin Scorsese’s enthralling account of the methodical elimination of Native Americans in early-1920s Oklahoma, Killers of the Flower Moon, a cynical lawman says, “You got a better chance of convicting a guy for kicking a dog than killing an Indian.” That matter-of-fact acknowledgement of cruel injustice doesn’t even begin to describe the cold calculation, the corruption and greed, the vile duplicity, manipulation and false piety that ripple through this shocking true-crime story like poison. Or like the oil that bubbles up from the ground and sets the insidious chain of homicides in motion.
Based on David Grann’s acclaimed nonfiction book about the Osage Murders, as they became known, this is a sprawling, densely plotted work that demands a lot of its audience. But the three-and-a-half-hour running time is fully justified in an escalating tragedy that never loosens its grip — a sordid...

Spoiler Alert: The following review contains mild spoilers.
Taking a cue from the movie’s soon-to-be-infamous spanking scene between Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, someone ought to paddle whoever let Martin Scorsese take three and a half hours to retell “Killers of the Flower Moon.” You could read David Grann’s page-turner — about an audacious 1920s conspiracy to steal resources from the Osage people by murder — in less time, and you’d learn a whole lot more about how J. Edgar Hoover and the newly formed FBI used this case to establish their place in American law enforcement.
Granted, this is cinema legend Martin Scorsese we’re talking about. For years, he fought studio execs telling him what to cut, going head-to-head with Harvey Weinstein on “Gangs of New York” (a movie that probably would’ve been better longer). Now he’s earned the right to tell stories as he sees fit.
