Everything to Know About 'Killers of the Flower Moon'

Check out the seriously stacked cast and find out the release date, plot and more details.

Killers of the Flower Moon is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2023, thanks in part to the timeless team-up of Academy Award-winning director and star Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. While the duo most famously worked together on classic mobster movies like Goodfellas, Casino and most recently The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon takes on the chilling true story of the murders of members of the Osage Nation in the 1920s—and Oscar winners Brendan Fraser and Leonardo DiCaprio are also among the cast.
