Los Angeles, July 27 (TIWN) Filmmaker Martin Scorsese's western drama 'Killers of the Flower Moon', starring Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, will be hitting the silver screen in 2023.

Written by Eric Roth and adapted from the best-selling novel 'Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI' by David Grann, the film had been originally slated for 2023 by Apple, reports 'Variety'.  However, discussions between the filmmaker and the studio over bumping up the film's release to 2022 occurred after Will Smith's actions at the Oscars earlier this year changed Apple's release strategy for its Smith-starring slavery drama 'Emancipation'.
