"There are many, so many hungry wolves. Can you find the wolves in this picture?" Apple has unveiled a teaser trailer for Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated new movie Killers of the Flower Moon, adapted form the bestselling book of the same name. This is premiering soon at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival with a big red carpet event, before then waiting for release later in the fall - during the awards season in October. At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Natives immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart & Mollie Kyle, Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with betrayal. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, Jillian Dion, William Belleau, Louis Cancelmi, Tatanka Means, with Brendan Fraser. This sprawling film has a length of 3 & 1/2 hours, which is usual for Scorsese. It looks phenomenal.

Here's the first trailer for Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, direct from YouTube:

Members of the Osage tribe in northeastern Oklahoma are murdered under mysterious circumstances in the 1920s after earning wealth from oil money, sparking a major FBI investigation directed by a young 29-year-old J. Edgar Hoover and former Texas Ranger Tom White, described by Grann as "an old-style lawman." Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.
