After The Irishman, released in 2019 on Netflix, Robert De Niro found Martin Scorsese in Killers of the Flower Moon, which will land next year in cinemas. In the meantime, test your knowledge with this quiz on the lines and punchlines of the famous comedian.
The work will tell us the true story of the murders of several members of the Osage Indian tribe in Oklahoma. They were murdered after finding oil on their land in the 1920s.
The FBI will be in charge of the investigation, via the character that Jesse Plemons will play. The film will also mark the reunion of Scorsese with his two favorite actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
It is screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) who adapts the book by David Grann, on which the film is based. He confided in the microphone of Collider about his work on this work.
“I’m in my 5th or 6th year working on this project”he said in April 2021. Roth then recalls that many changes have been made, in particular concerning the role of DiCaprio, which has been exchanged with the one that Jesse Plemons will hold.
The latter lends his features to Texas Ranger Tom White, investigating the Osage murders. As for DiCaprio, he plays Ernest Burkhart, nephew of William Hale (Robert De Niro).
The screenwriter specifies that the two actors will have approximately equal screen time, responding to a rumor that claimed that Leo would only be secondary in the story:
“I wouldn’t say Plemons is the lead role. I’d say he’s the designated hero. In terms of their presence in the film, they’re equal. They just don’t have the same role. Leo’s is very complex and interesting. It’s a bold role and it needed a very smart actor to portray it. If Montgomery Clift was still alive, he could have played this character.”says Eric Roth
