Film fans are getting first-looks today at two major made-in-Oklahoma motion pictures.
The Osage News has the first look at Martin Scorsese s adaptation of Killers of the Flower Moon, which is currently filming in Osage County. The photo depicts Native American actress Lily Gladstone (Blackfeet and Nez Perce) as Mollie Burkhart and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who is also one of the film s producers, as her duplicitous husband, Ernest Burkhart.
With a screenplay by Oscar winner Eric Roth ( Forrest Gump ), the Apple Studios film is an adaptation of David Grann s 2017 New York Times best-seller and National Book Award finalist “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. The film will chronicle the murders of Osage Nation citizens in 1920s Oklahoma, after the oil boom made them rich. The brutal killings became known as the Reign of Terror and the center of a major investigation by the then-fledgling FBI.
