Apple today released the official trailer for Killers of the Flower Moon, based on the book of the same name, which tells the true story of a series of murders in the Osage community.
The highly-anticipated film adaptation is directed by Martin Scorsese, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio. Watch the trailer below …
Killers of the Flower Moon star-studded cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert DeNiro, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, and more. It premiered at Cannes to much critical acclaim, and currently holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film will be released in cinemas beginning October 6, going wide in the US and international markets from October 20. A streaming date has not yet been announced.
Killers of the Flower Moon represents the first Apple original film to get a full wide theatrical release, before streaming on Apple TV+.
It is part of a new strategy where big-budget Apple movies will go to cinemas first, garnering critical and audience buzz, before (hopefully) making an even larger splash on TV+ than they would if they had gone directly to streaming in the first place.
Apple is reportedly now spending upwards of $1 billion annually on original movies. Other upcoming theatrical releases announced so far include Ridley Scott’s Napoleon and spy thriller Argylle.
