After literal years of having just one solitary image to look at, new looks at Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Western mystery epic Killers of the Flower Moon have been released.
During Paramount Pictures’ presentation at CinemaCon, the new images from the highly anticipated film, which is set to release in the fall, were released.
Based on the book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon features the Academy Award-winning trio of Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Brendan Fraser, in addition to Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, and John Lithgow.
In the new photos, DiCaprio’s character, Ernest Burkhart, can be seen interacting with both Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart and De Niro’s William Hale.
Here is the official synopsis for Killers of the Flower Moon, courtesy of AppleTV:
Directed by Scorsese and written for the screen by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s bestselling 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.
Hype for Killers of the Flower Moon will certainly shift into overdrive whenever the first trailer is released, especially considering the fact DiCaprio apparently believes the film is another of Scorsese’s masterpieces.
The film is also a milestone collaborative work for Scorsese, as it marks the eleventh time he’s directing De Niro and the seventh time he’s directing DiCaprio.
Further adding excitement to the project is that — while they previously acted together in the 1993 film This Boy’s Life — it marks the first time that the legendary duo of De Niro and DiCaprio have starred in one of Scorsese’s films together.
Killers of the Flower Moon will hit theaters in the United States on Friday, October 20 before later hitting AppleTV+.
