Killers of the Flower Moon: BTS Featurette Focuses On A Shared Vision

In a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Killers of the Flower Moon, director Martin Scorsese speaks with Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear of the Osage Nation about creating a shared vision.

AppleTV and Paramount Pictures continue their digital mass marketing of Killers of the Flower Moon as the release date approaches later this month. We know that the film is getting some really good press from everyone who has seen it at film festivals, and general media screenings will be happening soon. So we'll be getting opinions minus some festival goggles starting soon. We have another featurette, and this one shows director Martin Scorsese speaking with Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear of the Osage Nation and how they went about creating this shared vision. Standing Bear praised Scorsese in all the ways he made sure that this story was being told correctly, from using the Osage language to locations to costumes.

It sounds like it was a very collaborative effort. There is always pushback with films like this, with some saying that underrepresented people should be the ones telling their own stories. However, Hollywood is much more willing to give someone like Scorsese a bunch of money and all of the support in the world rather than an Osage filmmaker that no one knows. Scorsese has been doing this for a long time, and he knows that better than anyone; it seems like he went out of his way to make sure that while he was the one directing this film, the Osage Nation is part of Killers of the Flower Moon in every aspect of the film.
