Film fanatics can look forward to a great new movie from Martin Scorsese, and it will be called Killers of the Flower Moon. It will be a Western crime drama and will star Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone. The film is set to release in May 2023.
Martin Scorsese’s New Movie
Those anticipating the new Scorsese drama will need to prepare themselves for a lengthy cinematic journey, as it is currently stated to be Martin Scorsese’s second-longest film. Scorsese appears to have great faith in his ability to deliver a compelling viewing experience to audiences. Perhaps he took note of the criticism from those who were unwilling to sit through The Irishman and decided to create another lengthy film.
For some individuals, the thought of dedicating more than three hours to view Martin Scorsese’s latest film is causing anxiety. Presently, Killers of the Flower Moon has a runtime of three hours and twenty minutes, which has resulted in the director engaging in discussions with the Cannes Film Festival about screening the movie this year. The film’s extended length is reportedly the reason for the deliberation.
Flower Moon Will Be 200 Minutes
At a runtime of 200 minutes, the Western drama is just nine minutes shorter than Martin Scorsese’s previous film, The Irishman, which clocked in at 209 minutes. This length exceeds other acclaimed Scorsese movies, such as The Wolf Of Wall Street, which has a runtime of 180 minutes, Casino, which runs for 178 minutes, and The Aviator, which lasts for 170 minutes.
The upcoming film is adapted from David Grann’s popular book of the same title. Happily, as with The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be available on streaming platforms shortly after its initial release.
In this instance, the new Martin Scorsese film will be distributed by Apple TV+. As a result, viewers will have the freedom to pause the film and take breaks for refreshments or restroom visits at their convenience.
