So what’s three and a half hours ofKillers of the Flower Moon, anyway?
“People say it’s three hours, but come on,” Scorsese said.
“you could sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours.
Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours.
There are real actors on stage, it’s possible for you to’t get up and walk around.
You give it that respect, give cinema some respect.”
“Are we intending to make a blockbuster?
No, we’re making a movie, which should watched on the big screen,” Scorsese said.
“Other pictures I made?
“Meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”
Killers of the Flower Moonhits theaters Oct. 20.
