Dr. Bernice King, the youngest child of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is speaking out as protests are carried out around the country.

While the drama behind the scenes regarding the budget of Martin Scorsese’s upcoming period crime thriller, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is well-documented, there haven’t been many details about what caused the initial friction between Paramount and the filmmaker. Well, until now.

Even in lockdown, Martin Scorsese can’t keep from making movies.

Martin Scorsese self-shot a short film in his New York City home that saw him reflect on his self-isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic through the lens of classic films. The 77-year-old director filmed the short for the BBC series “Lockdown Culture with Mary Beard,” which has seen many prominent Hollywood figures tell their stories of being in lockdown due to the pandemic through various creative means.

A little more than a month ago, it was reported that Martin Scorsese, once again, found himself with a budgetary problem. Coming off the very expensive film, “The Irishman,” the filmmaker is now preparing to begin production on his next period drama, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and Scorsese is asking for a lot of money to make that film a reality.

Martin Scorsese is set to join the ranks of David F. Sandberg and Lotta Losten, Spike Lee, Michel Gondry, and other filmmakers as people who have taken their time in COVID-19-induced lockdown to create something new.

Apple is coming on board to help finance Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which Paramount will distribute theatrically, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap. However, another individual told TheWrap that there is no deal in place yet.

Martin Scorsese has made a short film for the BBC about being stuck in isolation.

After becoming one of the biggest filmmakers to work with Netflix, releasing The Irishman through the streaming giant last year, Martin Scorsese is potentially going to be a trailblazer yet again. With costs rising on his next movie, an adaptation of the book Killers of the Flower Moon, Paramount has been looking for another company to come in and share some of the financial burden.

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline hears that the tug of war over one of the highest profile films in Hollywood is about over. Apple will win the derby for the Martin Scorsese-directed film “Killers Of The Flower Moon,” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in the lead roles. The deals are being papered, but I’m told when they are, it will be an Apple original film, and Paramount will distribute theatrically worldwide.
