Be Prepared For A Long Night When Watching “Killers Of The Flower Moon”

Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” has been generating buzz for its impressive length. Reports have stated that the movie’s runtime is 3 hours and 26 minutes, making it one of the longest movies in Scorsese’s illustrious career.

Scorsese is known for creating epic films that take their time to fully explore their characters and storylines. Previous works such as “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “The Irishman” also had runtimes exceeding three hours. It seems that Scorsese is not afraid to take his time in telling a story, and “Killers of the Flower Moon” is no exception.

The movie is an adaptation of David Grann’s best-selling book and is set in 1920s Oklahoma. It tells the story of the serial murder of members of the Osage Nation, a series of brutal crimes known as the Reign of Terror. The cast includes big names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, as well as up-and-coming actors like Lily Gladstone and Jesse Plemons.

The production process for “Killers of the Flower Moon” faced some challenges. The movie was originally set to be produced by Paramount Pictures, but the studio reportedly had concerns about the film’s budget. Apple eventually stepped in to finance the project, with Paramount handling theatrical distribution. The movie is set to premiere out-of-competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May before a theatrical release in October.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” promises to be an epic film in every sense of the word. Its length may be intimidating to some viewers, but fans of Martin Scorsese’s work know that he is a master storyteller who takes his time to fully explore his characters and their world.
