Hopefully he'll have a long montage at the midway point. As soon as you hear Derek and the Dominos, bolt for the bathroom.

I'm curious to see how close it is to the real story because the real story is batshit crazy and evil; to the point where if it were fiction, i would think it was a bit over the top.



It really is. The book is shocking. Men are capable of truly evil, despicable things.

Scorsese was adamant about casting Indigenous actors as members of the Osage Nation in his film.


Take notes Dems, THIS is how you "Woke". You don't change or erase history, you make sure its accurately told and cast correctly.

Leo wanted to play an evil character, so they brought in a very famous (and esteemed) director to do the rewrites.

You don’t like Leo’s Slingblade?

Also the haircut will be distracting.

There Will Be Blood apparently cost around $25 mil, Flower Moon had a budget of $200 mil.

Did Scorsese have to buy the oil and the land to put it on film?

I don't even remember the Irishman being released here, but I think this is getting a nation wide run like the previously mentioned "Air". $200 million budget split between Paramount and Apple.. so it may be on Paramount + as well, not confirmed but makes sense.

Irishman went straight to netflix. I think it may it may have gotten a small theatrical release in LA and NY but not nationally for sure.

Good to hear this is getting an actual release because I'm not signing up for Apple just for this.

You should read the book. It has a white detective, it does not feature a white savior.

It does have a narrative that if told totally straight, wouldn't be much of a movie.

It's like a 5 hour listen if you do the audio, which also suggests to me they've added a ton to the story.

Got it. Only gay actors play gay characters. Only Spaniards play Spaniards (sorry Russel Crowe, no Maximus for you!). And of course, only developmentally disabled actors can go "full retard" (sorry Simple Jack!).

It's an Apple movie. Apple struck a deal with Paramount to distribute it to theaters.

Streamers like Apple and Amazon are more and more interested in the revenue stream (and prestige and artist goodwill) of theater distribution. It might not be with Paramount, but Apple will likely be making similar distributions deals with traditional studios in the future.

The trailer said Lead Writer Eric Roth at the end. I totally read it as Eli Roth and thought Martin Scorsese and Eli Roth was a crazy collab I never thought I’d see
