Based on the nonfiction book by David Grann, “Killers of the Flower Moon” stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Ernest Burkhart, a WWI vet who travels to Oklahoma to work for his wealthy uncle, William King Hale, played by Robert De Niro. It’s the early 1920s, and this part of Oklahoma sits on lots of oil, whose rights are owned by the Native American Osage and other tribes. They are prosperous, some even rich, and it’s here that Ernest meets Mollie (Lily Gladstone). They fall in love and marry, but the story’s undercurrent throbs with the mysterious death of so many Osage people and the white people assuming their oil rights.
Mollie’s sisters and mother die, and then Mollie herself gradually gets sicker. Is she being poisoned? Through a narrative rife with exploitation and death, the epic tale tracks the Reign of Terror, a string of murders within...

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains some spoilers for Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” — and the factual events on which it is based.]
Actress Cara Jade Myers can’t quite recall when she first heard from a friend that Martin Scorsese was taking on “Killers of the Flower Moon” as his next project — sometime around 2018, she thinks — and she certainly couldn’t possibly foresee how the eventual film would change her entire life. And yet, something moved her all those years ago, and she “immediately” picked up the David Grann book from which Scorsese and screenwriter Eric Roth were pulling from for their fact-based American epic about the Osage Nation murders, read it quickly, and “was horrified at the fact that this has never been taught in history before.”
One of the very first people we meet in Grann’s book is Osage member Anna Brown, sister to the film’s central Osage figure, Mollie Burkhart...

The following piece contains spoilers about “Killers of the Flower Moon”
When Cara Jade Myers found out she was cast in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” after multiple auditions and then almost a year of production delays forced by the coronavirus pandemic, she couldn’t help but get emotional.
“They kept talking. But I didn’t hear anything after that. I was just crying and nodding my head and smiling,” the actress, who is a member of the Kiowa and Wichita tribes, tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview.
Based on the book by David Grann, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic about American greed and the genocide of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. The investigation into the murders – at least 60 tribal members died during the so-called Reign of Terror, although the actual number of deaths could be in the hundreds – led to...

Colorful blankets play a huge part in Native culture. And therefore, they also play an important role in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Osage clothing consultant Julie O’Keefe explains the blankets became an essential part of storytelling, and are “an expression of how we represent ourselves even to this day.”
Scorsese brought on costume designer Jacqueline West to craft the looks for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” “He wanted this to be character-driven, with the clothes and wardrobe helping to tell the story,” West explains. West, an Oscar nominee for another period piece, “The Revenant,” brought in O’Keefe as an expert consultant.
Authenticity and representing Oklahoma’s Osage Nation perfectly were crucially important to Scorsese, West says, so it was key to find someone with an intensive knowledge of Osage regalia and daily clothing.

Director Martin Scorsese has made some truly brilliant art out of the dark corners of human history, from "Gangs of New York" to "Silence," but "Killers of the Flower Moon" looks like it might be his historical magnum opus. The film, which debuts at Cannes this week and will hit theaters nationwide in October, is based on the non-fiction book "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann, and it tells the story of the murders of dozens of indigenous people in Osage County, Oklahoma in the 1910s, '20s, and '30s.
The actual number of murders is still unconfirmed, because there was a cover-up and some murders might have been reported as "accidental" deaths, but "Killers of the Flower Moon" focuses on the murders of the family members of Mollie Burkhart (played by Lily Gladstone). When Mollie and her...
