Apple Original Films has unveiled a new featurette, “Character Chronicles: Leonardo DiCaprio as Ernest Burkhart”, for Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Starring DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, “Killers of the Flower Moon” will premiere in theaters around the world, including IMAX® theaters, on October 18.
Challenged and motivated by the role of Ernest Burkhart, DiCaprio committed himself to finding a footing for the character. “He assimilated himself into the Osage culture and became very much a chameleon,” the actor says of Burkhart. “We had a lot of meetings with members of the Osage community and they were incredibly helpful. We had some great advisers – that was a deep dive.”
