Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro May Team Up For KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON

Killers Of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI is a novel that follows the true story of the murders of members of the Osage Indian tribe in Oklahoma that eventually led to J. Edgar Hoover stepping in and creating the FBI. The rights to the book were recently bought by Imperative Entertainment to develop into a motion picture and they are currently looking at some phenomenal Hollywood talent to be involved.

According to Deadline, they want to bring on Martin Scorsese to direct and Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro to star. All of them are at least interested in talking about it and if this film ends up with the talent they want, it could end up being a serious Oscar contender.

These three guys have all worked very well with each other in the past and seeing them come together again would be great. Ultimately it comes down to scheduling. Hopefully, it all works out and that it's not all ruined due to bad timing, which has happened a lot in Hollywood over the years. 

The report goes on to say that the story is "about conspiracy, greed and murder in the Indian nation — so bad the federal government had to step in. It also chronicles the rise of J. Edgar Hoover, who led the investigation into the murders and ended up making a name for himself."

This sounds like an interesting story and it should make for a great film, especially with this calibur of talent.
