The Irishman creator, the veteran filmmaker Martin Scorsese says he is struggling to recapture the spark with which he made his last directorial ''The Irishman'' for his next ''Killers of the Flower Moon''. During an interview for a magazine, the Director said that the coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to his ''creative process''.
'This Covid, this pandemic, has stopped a creative process. I turned in on myself. Particularly the first couple of months, when we were locked in our houses, it eliminated a lot of distraction,'' Scorsese said. ''I have to find a way to get back to a singular creative impulse for my new film the way I had for ‘Irishman.’ Cut away all the award ceremonies, all that stuff, and get back to being in a room alone with a project and wondering if I can do something again,'' he added.
The director's favourite leading men Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio will also be in ''Killers of the Flower Moon''. The movie is based on David Grann's historical book of the same name, is set in 1920s Oklahoma and centres around the Osage Nation murders, in which members of the Native American tribe were murdered one by one by a group which found oil underneath their land. The newly created FBI took up the case as the death toll increases and uncovered a chilling conspiracy and one of the most monstrous crimes in the American history. The film was set to start shoot earlier this year but due to the pandemic, production was pushed till 2021.
