影片最早消息是2017年4月Deadline的报道,剧本由改编大神艾瑞克·罗斯操刀,《惊曝内幕》《慕尼黑》《本杰明·巴顿奇事》《特别响,非常近》《一个明星的诞生》多次提名奥斯卡改编剧本奖,《阿甘正传》获奖,维伦纽瓦最新的《沙丘》他也有参加剧本改编。这应该是老马第一用他做本子。 The book was snatched last year after a bidding war for $5 million by Imperative Entertainment and now the Eric Roth feature film adaptation of David Grann’s book Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders And The Birth Of The FBI may end up with another few good men. We hear that Imperative is working right now to put together some A-listers for the big screen; first choices happen to be Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, and we hear the three are seriously considering it. Imperative partners Dan Friedkin and Bradley Thomas are producing. Killers Of The Flower Moon, which bows this week from Doubleday, tells the true crime story about multiple murders of members of the Osage Indian tribe in Oklahoma that occurred after they found oil on their lands. It is about conspiracy, greed and murder in the Indian nation — so bad the federal government had to step in. It also chronicles the rise of J. Edgar Hoover, who led the investigation into the murders and ended up making a name for himself.
