KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023): New Trailer From Martin Scorsese, Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons…

14 Comments

A historical crime/drama set in the 1920s is the latest from Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Killers of the Flower Moon focuses on the relationship between the United States and its indigenous people, especially after members of the Osage tribe are mysteriously murdered, leading to an investigation involving F.B.I director J. Edgar Hoover.

I’ll start by addressing the humongous elephant in the room, following the above potentially confusing introductory paragraphs. Killers of the Flower Moon will not feature Dicaprio reprising his role as Hoover, as per the 2011 film, J. Edgar. He’s playing Ernest Burkhart and only Ernest Burkhart.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, and my giggles have dissipated, I’m intrigued by the smarts referred to at 0:22 in this trailer. I’m also very curious to see the evolution of Dicaprio and Gladstone’s characters.

Dark history is certainly what we’re in for with this one. As such, the question is, will you be ready to see this story told by such brilliant filmmakers? If so, how are you feeling about sitting through the 3.26-hour run time?

Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Cara Jade Myers, Jillian Dion, Jason Isbell, Tantoo Cardinal, Brendan Fraser, Janae Collins, William Belleau, Sturgill Simpson, Louis Cancelmi, Jason Isbell and Scott Shepherd also star

Killers of the Flower Moon Release Dates: October 6th, 2023 (US); October 20th, 2023, UK…

THE COMEBACK TRAIL (2020): New Trailer From Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jone, Zach Braff…

Directed and co-written by George Gallo; The Comback Trail is the latest action/comedy starring Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jone and Zach Braff.

De Niro is one of two movie producers who owe money to the mob. So, to save themselves, they set up their ageing movie star (Jones) for an insurance scam. Only all does not go according to plan…

The humour and great cast are my reason. Looks like it’s going to be fun watching De Niro, Jones and Freeman share the screen.

Patrick Muldoon, Michelle Maylene, Malcolm Barrett, Eddie Griffin, Natalie Burn, Vincent Spano, Nick Vallelonga and Leslie Stratton also star.

The Comeback Trail Release Dates: November 13th, 2020 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Irishman (2019).

The new official trailer for The Irishman, the latest Martin Scorsese movie starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino is finally here.

The Irishman tells the story of a hitman’s recollection of his possible involvement with the slaying of Jimmy Hoffa, an American former Labour Union leader.

I’m quite certain that this is one of the most highly anticipated Netflix releases. With Scorsese’s track record and a cast of absolute legends of cinema, I look forward to seeing how well this turns out.

Anna Paquin, Jack Huston, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Jesse Plemons and Stephen Graham also star.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Joker (2019).

Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz and Robert De Niro, Joker is an exploration of Aurthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society and eventually driven insane until he become’s Gotham City’s best known psychopathic murderer.

Directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover (2009), other key cast includes Bryan Callen, Shea Whigham and Frances Conroy.

I’m going to start by addressing the rather humongous and certainly beautiful elephant in the room. ‘Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger. The Dark Knight , The Dark Knight , The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight.’ OK. I’m done.

To clarify, my intention is certainly not to take anything away from Phoenix who I also appreciate, especially since his great work in Gladiator (2000). However, I just had to do the above because Ledger’s performance was pure magic and permanently fixed in my memory as one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.

I’m still definitely looking forward to watching this deep-dive into Joker’s journey, from failed comic to psychopathic murderer. Additionally, I actually can’t wait to compare both Phoenix and Ledger’s performances – just to see which I prefer.

Glenn Fleshler, Brett Cullen, Marc Maron, Douglas Hodge and Josh Pais also star.

Joker Release Dates: October 4th, 2019 (US & UK)…

Announcement Trailer

A link to the latest trailer released on July 31st 2019 can be found below.

The key actors in this movie are enough to get any serious movie fan very excited – and excited I certainly am. I also have to congratulate the creative mind behind the decision to have the shell float in the place of the letter I. I fully admit to yelping with delight at the beauty of the execution. Especially when De Niro’s name came up. Then I had to rewind to watch it all over again in case I imagined the whole thing. Then a third time, so I could actually listen to the dialogue.

No actual footage has even been released but I’m thoroughly convinced that autumn has never seemed so very far away.
