Scorsese and DiCaprio chased a long ruble
It seems like Martin Scorsese left Hollywood and settled down firmly on streaming platforms. The director's previous film, the crime thriller The Irishman, was released on Netflix. Apparently, the next picture will also go straight online.Scorsese is currently preparing to shoot a film based on the best-selling book Killers of the Flower Moon. Martin will take the audience back to the 20s of the last century and talk about the formation of the FBI and the discovery of huge deposits of oil on the territory of the Indian Reservation in Osage County. The director's lucky mascots, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, signed up to take part in the film. It would seem, what else can Hollywood bosses dream of? .. Surprisingly, Paramount owners see Scorsese, De Niro and DiCaprio as insufficient guarantees of success. The film's budget is estimated at $ 200 million, and the studio doubts that it will be able to recoup the costs through film distribution.  Paramount didn’t put the project off the shelf, but suggested Scorsese find another business partner and distributor. According to insiders, Martin went straight to the rich in the streaming world. The director has already held talks with representatives from Netflix and Apple. These companies can certainly pay $ 200 million, especially since they are now receiving super-profits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If online services abandon the Flower Moon Killers, Scorsese will return to the negotiating table with Paramount, but will curb his financial appetite.
