Martin Scorsese’s next film, “Killers of the Flower Moon”, strongly anticipated at Cannes

“Killers of the Flower Moon will be available on Apple TV after its theatrical release, in France and around the world“, announced its distributors. The release is scheduled for October 18, 2023, “in partnership with Paramount Pictures“. In the United States, a “limited releaseto a few theaters is scheduled for October 6, with a wider release on October 20.

Martin Scorsese’s previous film, The Irishman, had not been released in theaters in France, its producer Netflix wishing to reserve it for its platform. Killers of the Flower Moon will therefore meet a different fate. The film is also strongly anticipated to be presented at Cannes in May, where it would cause a stir: Martin Scorsese has not come there with a film since After Hours in 1986.

“We are in discussions“with Apple and Paramount in this sense, declared the general delegate of the Cannes Film Festival, Thierry Frémaux, in an interview Monday March 27 to variety. “The important thing is to make sure that Martin Scorsese is present with his new film, which is an important work“, he said. Killers of the Flower Moon dives into 1920s Oklahoma on the trail of serial murders. The film features two of Scorsese’s favorite actors, Robert De Niro (Taxi Driver, raging bull, Freedmen) and Leonardo DiCaprio (Shutter Island, The wolf of Wall Street).
