‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Aiming for December 2022 Release, Rough Cut Has Reportedly Been Privately Screened
Martin Scorsese is back this year with a vengeance. After working for years on his adaptation of Killers of the Flower Moon, it looks like the director could have it ready in time for a late 2022 release date.
According to World of Reel, Apple and Paramount are internally targeting a December 2022 release date for the movie. Moreover, a rough cut of the movie has been privately screened for some executives from Paramount and Apple, who are co-financing the film, which does nothing but confirm that the movie could be done by the end of the year.
While production wrapped last October, Scorsese is known for taking a long time in the editing room — his 2016 movie Silence was initially targeting a late 2015 release, and Scorsese pushed it back to 2016 as he wasn’t satisfied with the edit. The movie saw a limited release in late December and up until October/November there was no word on if the movie would even make it. It seems like we’ll be luckier this time around, and this year’s Oscars will be a clash of the Titans, with Scorsese, Spielberg (The Fabelmans), and David Fincher (The Killer) having new movies out.
And that is not even it, because also chiming in will be Damien Chazelle (Babylon), Sam Mendes (Empire of Light), Martin McDonagh (The Banshees of Inisherin), Alejandro G. Iñarritu (Bardo), Luca Guadagnino (Bones and All), Jordan Peele (Nope), Darren Aronofsky (The Whale), Noah Baumbach (White Noise), and many more. Unfortunately, Next Goal Wins (Taika Waititi), Asteroid City (Wes Anderson), Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos), The Zone of Interest (Jonathan Glazer), and Disappointment Blvd. (Ari Aster) have all been bumped to 2023.
Killers of the Flower Moon stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, and Robert DeNiro, whose role is reportedly smaller than in the book. It was written by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, and it’s based on David Grann’s book of the same name.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
