According to Killers of the Flower Moon updates, David Grann, the author of the novel, has visited the Scorcese film's set several times and is extremely pleased with the director's interpretation of the book. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Grann complimented every aspect of Scorcese's adaptation, including the engagement of the Osage Nation, the acting of the cast, and Scorcese's overall respect for historical accuracy. This is good news because the source material covers a wide range of delicate subjects. According to Grann's further remarks, "What I was struck by from Scorsese to the actors was the level of commitment and how much research they did to understand the parts and understand the history."

After numerous delays, Killers of the Flower Moon's principal photography finally started in April 2021.

#5. Killers Of The Flower Moon Story Details
According to updates for Killers of the Flower Moon, the film will largely adhere to the book. The movie is based on the nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. In the book, Grann investigates a series of murders of wealthy Osage people that took place in Osage County, Oklahoma, in the early 1920s after oil deposits were discovered in their land. As the Osage people prepared to receive the wealth to which they were legally entitled from sales of the oil deposits, the administrators of the land had other ideas.

These people had a history of hostility toward the Osage people and thought that by getting rid of the Osages, who they saw as the "middle man," they could more easily maximize their oil earnings. William Hale was one of the masterminds behind the plan to murder the Osage people, and his nephew, Ernest Burkhart, was a key player. Scorcese reportedly has been working closely with the Osage people since the inception of Eric Roth's script. In addition, the production was praised by writer David Grann. This should give audiences high hopes that Scorcese's version of events should be both respectful and faithful to history.

It's surprising that Killers of the Flower Moon updates don't include the trailer, considering filming for Leonardo DiCaprio's next movie wrapped quite a long time ago. However, it will make its world premiere in May 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival, where it'll probably face tough competition for the Palme d'Or. Consequently, it is likely that a Killers of the Flower Moon trailer will drop sooner rather than later. As more information on the next Scorcese movie becomes available, stay tuned.
