Scorcese's "Killers of the Flower Moon", which will also star Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio, is based on author David Grann's 2017 bestseller of the same title. Set in 1920s Oklahoma, the film centres on the Osage Nation murders, in which members of the Native American tribe were murdered one by one after the group became rich off the oil found underneath their land.
