    The greatest American director alive has signed a first-look film and TV deal with Apple TV+.

    The biggest highlight of this deal is the upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon, which is being produced by Apple.

    Why so much hype around 'Killers of The Flower Moon'
  • Killers of The Flower Moon stars none other than Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.

    The film is based on the mysterious deaths of rich Osage Indians after they were given the allowance to unearth and commercially exploit the oil found underneath their lands.

    The film is Scorsese's second such venture for direct streaming platforms after he did The Irishman for Netflix.

  • Sikelia Productions, Scorsese's company that has inked the deal with the tech giant is co-producing Killers of The Flower Moon along with Appian Way and Imperative Entertainment, as Paramount distributes it.

    Founded in 1996 by the ace director, Sikelia is behind many noted films like Shutter Island, Silence, The Departed, The Aviator and other titles including documentaries such as A Letter to Elia.

    Will Scorsese direct a series for Apple?
  • Now that Scorsese has associated with a streaming platform for many years to come, will he ever direct a TV series?

    He once told reporters that he had tried to do this with Vinyl on HBO but it didn't work out beyond the pilot episode.

    "We tried for one year with HBO, but we couldn't get the creative elements together," he had said.

  • Comment

    'If you do it, you do it right'

    'If you do it, you do it right'
  • "I think I would have had to direct every episode. If you do it, you do it right like Sorrentino does [with The Young Pope], you do everything...If you don't, you shouldn't be making the series," Scorsese asserted.

    However, now at least his fans are about to get a lot of his genius, films and TV included, through Apple TV+.

    So, rejoice!
