Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese recently said at a press conference (via LADbible) that Brendan Fraser is “perfect” in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The actor, who won the Oscar this year for his performance in “The Whale,” has been panned by many fans since “Flower Moon” opened in the theaters, with viewers claiming his over-the-top acting feels largely out of place in the film. Fraser has a brief supporting turn as W. S.

Anna Tingley Martin Scorsese and Julia Louis-Dreyfus touched on the profound possibilities and perils of modern technology in their speeches at the 2023 WSJ Innovator Awards on Wednesday night. During his acceptance speech for the Film Innovator Award, Scorsese recounted the first time he used a Steadicam while shooting his 1980 sports drama “Raging Bull.” “At this point it’s brand new,” he says about the camera stabilizer mount which was first introduced in 1975. “I got in the ring and De Niro’s in there and I looked at the rushes and I realized I actually foolishly expected the tools to do the work,” he said.

Several months ago, we got our first peek at the Chanel campaign ad that would feature Timothée Chalamet. Obviously, he’s a big star and that’s a huge “get” for Chanel.

It’s difficult to say there’s really any silver lining to the ongoing SAG strike. However, if there is something we can point to as a positive by-product (other than the hopeful fair resolution to the labor disagreement), it’s the fact that Martin Scorsese has been the sole person out there promoting “Killers of the Flower Moon.” That means we’ve gotten interview after interview with the legendary filmmaker, allowing him to cover just about ever angle of his new film, as well as giving a bit of retrospective commentary on his career.

Martin Scorsese is dishing on the actors he hasn’t worked with, but would have liked to.

Addie Morfoot Contributor Sin, forgiveness, the glamour of evil, Barbara Stanwyck, Marlon Brando, terrible preview screenings for “Goodfellas,” Robert De Niro‘s silence and, of course, “Killers of the Flower Moon” were all topics of conversation during Montclair Film Festival’s Filmmaker Tribute to Martin Scorsese on October 27 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The director, who has received 14 Oscar nominations, was in the Garden State for the festival’s annual “An Evening With Stephen Colbert” fundraiser. Colbert, a Montclair resident, has long been a booster of the event, which is currently in its 12th year.

On his press tour for “Killers Of The Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese states that he may have “one more” or a “couple more” films left in his masterful career. And with the director turning 81 soon, that’s a fair assessment on his part.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Costume designer Jacqueline West, a four-time Academy Award nominee, had several directors on her wish list. She had already worked alongside Denis Ville- neuve, Ben Affleck, Terrence Malick and Alejandro González Iñárritu. This year, she finally crossed Martin Scorsese’s name off the list.

Globally, film has taken $164.8million following its release on October 12 in the US across AMC theatres and October 13 in other territories.Killers Of The Flower Moon, meanwhile, took $23million (£18.9m) in its opening weekend at the US box office, which is the third best opening for Scorsese, following 2010’s Shutter Island ($41m) and The Departed ($26.9m) in 2006.Scorsese’s film, however, topped the worldwide box office with $44million (£36.2m), with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour slipping to second with $41.5million (£34.1m) globally in its second week (via Screen Daily).While Scorsese’s latest film may struggle to become profitable against its estimated $200million budget, the opening numbers are considered a success due to its lengthy 206-minute running time and the fact it’s a period movie skewed towards adults.Killers Of The Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, is also set to release on Apple TV+ at an unconfirmed date.In a five-star review, NME wrote: “Each conversation between De Niro and DiCaprio is an exercise in clever euphemism and while some may find the tempo a bit too stately, the story of an entire people’s eradication deserves to be told in full.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When I spoke with Robbie Robertson over the phone in the last week of July, it was at what everyone might have expected would be the beginning of a great victory lap for the musician. His work with the Band in the late ‘60s through mid-‘70s had been properly commemorated, through a memoir and documentary that covered those crucial years. But the film work that had consumed so much of his attention in the decades since, almost all of it as a close collaborator with, and close friend, to Martin Scorsese? There hadn’t really been a proper nexus point to fully celebrate and explore that.

Martin Scorsese is widely regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of the last 50 years.

Scorsese himself has ties to “Barbie,” as it stars and was produced by his “Wolf of Wall Street” breakout Margot Robbie and shot by his longtime cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto. The latter filmed “Barbie” after wrapping up work on Scorsese’s own “Killers of the Flower Moon.” “I do think that the combination of ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Barbie’ was something special,” Scorsese said.
