Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese’s $200 million epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” based on David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book, centers on the Reign of Terror, a term the Osage Nation used to define the murders of at least 60 community members in the late 1920s. The film tells this true crime tale through the lens of a marriage between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), a World War I veteran who relocates to Oklahoma to work with his rancher uncle, and Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), a local Osage woman whose family was one of the community’s wealthiest.

And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.
