Martin Scorsese he’s had quite an incredible film career and has no desire to slow down. There are so many movies Scorsese wants to make, and he knows he won’t get to see them all before he dies.
During an interview with Deadline, the director was asked if he still has the drive to continue making films after his next film The flower moon killersand offered his sad perspective on the matter:
“I have to. I have to. Yes. I wish I could take eight weeks off and make a film at the same time [laughs]. The whole world has opened up to me, but it’s too late. It’s too late.”
“I’m old. I read things. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time. Kurosawa, when he won his Oscar, when George [Lucas] and Stephen [Spielberg] gave it to him, he said, “I’m only now beginning to see the possibility of what cinema could be, and it’s too late.” She was 83 years old. At that time, I said, ‘What do you mean?’ Now I know what he means.”
It’s kind of morbid to think about, but now I can’t help but wonder how many of these stories Scorsese will tell before he dies. But I love that he will do what he loves for as long as possible.
As for his next film, The flower moon killersthe film is based on the journalist’s book of the same name David Grann. The story “traces the investigation into the serial killings that plagued the Osage Nation during the 1920s after oil was discovered on their land. The murders prompted the fledgling FBI to investigate.” Leonardo Dicaprio AND Lily Glastone stars as married couple Ernest and Mollie Burkhart. The cast also includes Robert DeNiro, Jesse PlemonAND Brendan Fraser.
Here is a description of the story: “In the late nineteenth century, the Osage Indians were driven onto a supposedly worthless stretch of land in northeastern Oklahoma. But their turf turned out to be atop one of the largest oil fields in the United States; to get that oil, prospectors had to pay the tribe rents and royalties. By the 1920s, Osage Nation members had become the wealthiest people per capita in the world. And then the Osage started dying under mysterious circumstances.”
The film will be released in select theaters on Friday 6 October. It will then be expanded into a large release on Friday 20 October.
