Sinatra wasn't made because Scorsese wanted to show Sinatra's dark side and Sinatra's estate wasn't okay about that.

I know. It's a shame; Sinatra's life seems something that is a perfect fit for Scorsese.

Given that The Irishman's budget sounds like it's out of control (first $125m, then $140m, then $175m), Scorsese had better keep a tighter grip on the budget this time.

 

I personally think Shutter Island's budget would be a good fit for this film ($80 million).

DeNiro confirmed in negotiations.

I like how De Niro's back to serious acting again

He must have had a revelation when "The War with Grandpa" was put on ice after it wrapped. Also, he looks more like Sam the Eagle than Mueller on SNL:

I guess he figured he has gotten rich enough accepting any big paycheck that came his way, so he can go back to being choosy again.

For a while there De Niro was giving Brando a run in the "great actor who chooses a lot of lousy scripts" category.

How else can he pay for Tribeca?

De Niro and DiCaprio is official, and shooting begins this spring (likely March).

Imagine this is gonna be opening around the holiday season of 2021 giving Paramount two potential awards contenders between this and Chazelle's Babylon.

Wonder what the budget is going to be; it being set in the 1930's is going to add to it.

It probably won't be as much as The Irishman ($159 million), that's for sure.

He's all but said this is his first western.

Quote

“We think it’s a western. It [takes place] in 1921-1922 in Oklahoma. They are certainly cowboys, but they have cars and also horses. The film is mainly about the Osage, an Indian tribe that was given horrible territory, which they loved because they said to themselves that Whites would never be interested in it. Then we discovered oil there and, for about ten years, the Osage became the richest people in the world, per capita. Then, as with the Yukon and the Colorado mining regions, the vultures disembark, the White man, the European arrives, and all was lost. There, the underworld had such control over everything that you were more likely to go to jail for killing a dog than for killing an Indian.”

And what the hell does this have to with "Killers Of The Flower Moon"?

I am not a "topic Nazi" but this has no connection with the movie being discussed.

$225 million budget ??

@TheInSneider

 

BREAKING: Per

@RichardRushfield

, the budget on Scorsese's KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON has soared to $225M (not far off from The Irishman, mind you) & Paramount is getting nervous (even with Leo starring), and Marty wants to move it to Netflix (which doesn't know how to say "no").

I love Scorsese but admit that, having read the book, and taking it's 1920's setting into account, I just can't see why this would cost 225 Million. In the end it's a police thriller. If Mendes could stage World War One for less then half of the rumored budget, don't see why Marty needs 225 for a murder mystery.

[MOVIEGUY]

God bless Marty Scorsese, fuck the budget. He's getting up there and not gonna be able to keep making movies forever, let him spend however much he wants.

[filmlover]

lol Marty you are a blessing to us all. Leo appearing in a Netflix release would also be something even if it was only for Marty, you know starpower is truly a thing of the past when the man who is probably the last old school definition of a "movie star" (only one flop in the past decade and the flop being almost that long ago is quite the track record) is unable to ensure a studio will throw all of their confidence behind anything he's in automatically.
