Leonardo DiCaprio Gushes Over ‘Cinematic Father Figures’

Leonardo DiCaprio still can’t believe he’s worked with his “cinematic father figures.”After celebrating his 49th birthday last week, the Oscar winner recently reflected on the triumph of getting to work with both co-star Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese on “Killers of the Flower Moon.”“It’s hard to articulate in a short time other than saying [Scorsese has] been very much a cinematic father figure to me, much like Mr. De Niro has,” he told ET on Thursday. “I’ve looked up to them as the great duo of my generation as far as cinematic achievements are concerned.“All of my actor friends and I have just studied their work and their films together,” he added, calling the opportunity to collaborate with the two legends “mind-blowing.”Scorsese’s work with De Niro arguably defined a gen...

Martin Scorsese Hilariously Admits He’s ‘Tricked Into’ Making TikToks With Daughter Francesca

‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’ Correctly Made A Big Choice

In describing the development of his new film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese has said the long-gestating project went through a significant rewrite when he made a crucial choice: reframing the story to not make a white man the hero.Based on New Yorker reporter David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name, the movie was originally about how a federal investigation into a string of murders involving members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma became a foundation for the FBI. The lead investigator was Tom White, an agent for the Bureau of Investigation, the FBI’s precursor.Frequent Scorsese collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio initially signed on to play White. But as Scorsese has recounted in recent interviews, such as one with Time magazine: “After a certain point, I realized I was making...

Martin Scorsese Shuts Down Criticism Over The 3.5-Hour Runtime For ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’

They say good things come to those who wait, and in Martin Scorsese’s case, he knows that the prolonged running time of his Western drama “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is more than worth it. In a new interview with The Hindustan Times, Scorsese, 80, shut down criticism about his upcoming film’s lengthy runtime of 3 hours and 26 minutes by comparing it to how long the average person binge watches TV. With hit films like “Casino,” “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “The Irishman” under his belt, Scorsese is no stranger to keeping moviegoers locked in with visually stunning films that come close to or exceed three hours. “People say it’s three hours, but come on,” the director said. “You can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours. Also, there are many people who watch theatre f...
