After countless delays in scheduling and production, Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” has begun filming today in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Film + Music Office and Apple Original Films announced Monday afternoon that principal photography on “Killers of the Flower Moon” began on Monday, where filming will be centered in Bartlesville, Pawhuska and Osage County.
“We are thrilled to finally start production on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ in Oklahoma,” said Scorsese in a statement. “To be able to tell this story on the land where these events took place is incredibly important and critical to allowing us to portray an accurate depiction of the time and people. … We’re excited to start working with our local cast and crew to bring this story to life on screen and immortalize a time in American history that should not be forgotten.”
The film, an adaptation of David Grann’s grisly murder-mystery novel, is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone. The screenplay, written by Eric Roth, takes place in 1920s Oklahoma and tells the story of a corrupt FBI investigation on Osage Indians who suddenly start to get murdered.
