Conceal and Venice compete over “killers”

Charso Press: According to Variety, the movie “Full Moon Assassins” directed by “Martin Scorsese” and starring “Leonardo DiCaprio” and “Robert De Niro” has its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and is likely to be one of the most attractive red carpets in Cannes. The date of this cinematic event will be determined.

The “Venice” and “Cannes” festivals are looking for the film, which is a product of the Apple company, but the evidence suggests that the Western drama will finally be unveiled in the south of France. Of course, there could still be last-minute changes leading up to the unveiling, but sources say Scorsese has booked a suite at a posh hotel in Cannes.

Cannes director Thierry Fermo is preparing a brilliant run for the event in 2023, and earlier this month he traveled to Los Angeles to prepare for the screening of Scorsese’s film and discuss other Hollywood titles, but interestingly, “Alberto Barbera, the artistic director of Venice, was also in Los Angeles at the same time and met with the heads of the studio in this city, which created an awkward situation, although the directors of the two top world festivals did not clash with each other.

However, no official offer has been made at Cannes, and no final decision has been made on whether Scorsese and representatives from the production company will make a promotional trip to France in May.

One aspect rumored to favor Full Moon Assassin’s presence at Cannes is DiCaprio’s desire to return to the French event, where he experienced a screening of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. had in 2019. The film went on to become a box office success, garnering 10 Oscar nominations and winning Brad Pitt a Best Supporting Actor award.

“The Full Moon Killers” is based on the best-selling non-fiction book written by “David Gran” and its story is about a series of murders that take place in Oklahoma in the 1920s; When the Osage Indians discovered oil in their basements and were killed one by one, and as the number of murders increased, the newly established FBI took over the case and one of the most horrific organized crimes in American history was revealed.

In this movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of Ernest Burkhott, who is the niece of a powerful rancher named William Hill, played by Robert De Niro. Lily Goldstone also plays the role of DiCaprio’s wife in the film.

200 million dollars have been spent for this western movie.

If “Full Moon Assassins” is unveiled at Cannes, it will be Scorsese’s first return to Cannes since 1985 (38 years ago), when he won Best Director for “After Hours.” Scorsese has a long relationship with this French festival. Before heading the jury in 1998, he presented some of his most iconic early films at Cannes, notably Taxi Driver, which won the Palme d’Or in 1976, and Sultan of Comedy, which co-starred Robert De Niro. . The return of Scorsese and De Niro to the Cannes red carpet for a film is a major achievement for Thierry Fermo, who first tried to screen The Irishman at Cannes in 2019, but the film ended up showing at the New York Film Festival. .

But there is also a restrictive law in France, according to which films can be released online 15 months after their theatrical release, unless Apple bans the “Full Moon Killers” in France or releases the film in a non-competitive category. slow because the French festival has a rule that every film in the competition section must be screened in French cinemas.

The 76th Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 16 to 27, 2023 (May 26 to June 6, 1402).
