When the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian hosted Apple Original Films’ Killers of the Flower Moon for an event on Friday, director Martin Scorsese and star Lily Gladstone talked extensively about the development and production of the Oscar-nominated epic. The film, which was nominated for 10 Oscars, including best picture and for Scorsese and Gladstone, is based on the David Grann book about the systematic murders of members of the Osage nation a century ago by white settlers to seize control of rich mineral rights. Scorsese and screenwriter Eric Roth adapted the book into a complex story of greed, love and betrayal, centering on the relationship between Mollie Kyle (Gladstone) and Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), the nephew of political boss William King Hale (Robert De Niro) who orchestrates the murders.
