    It's been four years since Martin Scorsese's last film, the sprawling gangster saga The Irishman. Now, the legendary director returns with his much-anticipated next project: Killers of the Flower Moon.

    After years of development and cryptic teases, Scorsese finally shared the first trailer for his crime drama, unveiling a first look at stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, and Jesse Plemons. The film is adapted from David Grann's true-crime book of the same name, which recounts the notorious murders of wealthy Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma.

    Like the book it's based on, the film chronicles how members of the Osage tribe struck it rich, after discovering oil deposits upon their land. These wealthy landowners were soon targeted by their white neighbors, who harassed and even murdered more than 60 members of the Osage tribe in an attempt to seize their wealth.

    The tense first trailer introduces DiCaprio as Oklahoma resident Ernest Burkhart with Lily Gladstone as his Osage wife Mollie. The pair embrace, but in a voiceover, Ernest alludes to "hungry wolves" circling in the shadows — including his own uncle, local cattle baron Bill Hale (De Niro).

    Much of the book centers on federal agent Tom White, who helped untangle the case for the then-nascent Federal Bureau of Investigations. At the time, the FBI was only a few years old, and bureau chief J. Edgar Hoover personally sent White to Oklahoma to investigate. Scorsese has said that original drafts of the script focused more on White, but he and DiCaprio had no interested in making a "police procedural," and they instead chose to shift the focus to Ernest and Mollie. (DiCaprio was originally attached to play White, but he instead chose to play Ernest, with Plemons taking over the previous role.)

    Killers of the Flower Moon opens in select theaters Oct. 6 before streaming worldwide on Apple TV+. Watch the trailer above.

    What the hell is going on with Leo's accent? I've never heard a human being sound like that.

    Hell of a cast. I'm pretty sure I saw Brendan Fraser in there but he didn't even get mentioned on the trailer. I'll probably check this out.

    At over 3 hours I’m going to catch it on streaming where I can pause and take a bathroom and drink break

    How dare y'all make fun of a stroke victim as a main character, now a Western staple.

    I know Sturgill Simpson is in this movie but the beginning SOUNDS in this trailer reminded me of the beginning of SOUND & FURY. Which is coo.

    Maybe it's over 3 hours long so that you can get used to his accent by the end.

    It's a masterful book, great sad story, that plus Scorsese is pretty hard to beat.

    David Grann is a great author, everything I've read by him is riveting, I'm waiting for The Wager to come out in fancy paperback, it's gotten great reviews.
