De Niro And DiCaprio May Team Up For A New Scorsese Film

(Deadline) “As Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese ready their splashy reunion mob drama The Irishman to world premiere at the New York Film Festival before Netflix releases its this fall, the actor and director are getting closer to jumping right back in with the Imperative Entertainment-produced Paramount drama Killers of the Flower Moon. De Niro is in early negotiations now to team with the director’s other most frequent collaborator, Leonardo DiCaprio.

An adaptation of the nonfiction book by David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon tells the true crime story of multiple murders of members of the Osage Indian tribe in 1920s Oklahoma that occurred after they found oil on their lands.”

I have a functioning brain, so I’m obviously a big Scorsese guy. He is an outstanding storyteller, and this plot looks to be right up his alley. Obviously this is still in negotiation, but it would be nice to see Leo and De Niro in a movie together again. They’ve collaborated in a few movies before, most of which when Leo was younger. The most notable example is 1993’s ‘This Boy’s Life’ which was a breakout performance for the then 19 year-old DiCaprio. I hope this works out, especially because it’s an interesting topic and it could be one of the last rides for these three generationally-great talents to collaborate.
