the masterpiece coming into full view now

we finally eating

This movie is gonna be one of them ones isn’t it

Here’s a small reaction, translated:

I believe it is a bravura piece of filmmaking in all areas, and with a social consciousness, as the book was, at its heart.

some updates ahead of Cannes 2023!

• press session will kick off on Saturday 20th at 4:30 p.m.
• reports say there will be only one screening out of competition
• shared the first trailer for the film at CinemaCon (April)
• Official trailer will be coming on Thursday. (source, Daniel Richtman)
• New interview with Deadline 5/16

p.s. When it gets released this October, it will be close to two years since production had wrapped on the film. This would break Scorsese’s post-production length record, 2010’s “Shutter Island” took about 20 months. (WoR)

interview excerpt:

So rather than take David Grann’s book and turn it into a mystery-thriller with murders solved and the FBI established, you decided that making it an exploration of human nature was your way in?

SCORSESE: Leo DiCaprio looked at me and said, “Where’s the heart in this movie?” This was when Eric Roth and I were writing the script from the point of view of the FBI coming in and unraveling everything. Look, the minute the FBI comes in, and you see a character that would be played by Robert De Niro, Bill Hale, you know he’s a bad guy. There’s no mystery. So, what is it? A police procedural? Who cares! We’ve got fantastic ones on television.

The least material available to us was about Ernest. There’s much written about Bill Hale, Mollie, and many of the others. Eric and I enjoyed working on that first version; it had all the tropes of the Western genre that I grew up with, and I was so tempted to do it that way. But I said, “The only person that has heart, besides Mollie Burkhart, is her husband Ernest, because they’re in love.”

We went to Oklahoma to the Gray Horse settlement, the Osage gave us a big dinner, and people got up and spoke. One woman got up and said, “You know, they loved each other, Ernest and Mollie. And don’t forget that. They loved each other.” I thought, ‘Whoa. That’s the story. How could he have done what he did?’

You bet we’ll be seated

“Also, don’t drink anything at least 4 hours prior to watching.”

so so so excited for this one!!!

this is so sad man

sad but also real as f*** the fact that he’s still this focused on and passionate about the art is inspiring
