Wealth often brings trouble, and trouble doesn't discriminate, except when it does. Check out the newly-released full trailer for "Killers of the Flower Moon," the latest historical epic from Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.

The film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro, is an adaptation of David Grann's critically acclaimed best-selling historical book of the same name, which chronicles the horrific events surrounding the murders of the Osage people in Osage County, Oklahoma, during the early 1920s.

"Killers of the Flower Moon" shines a light on a dark chapter in American history, diving into the harrowing and tragic true story of the Osage Nation. Forced to leave their ancestral land and relocate to a desolate region, they unknowingly discovered vast oil reserves, becoming one of America's wealthiest communities. However, their newfound prosperity became a magnet for envy and hatred, igniting a series of brutal and unsolved crimes that eventually attracted the attention of the FBI.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Ernest Burkhart, a World War I veteran who ends up moving to Oklahoma and marrying Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), an Osage woman with a fortune beyond imagination. Together, they embark on a rollercoaster of emotions, navigating treacherous twists and turns. Meanwhile, Robert De Niro costars as the ruthless and despicable William Hale, a Texan cattleman hell-bent on seizing control of the Osage Nation's coveted oil rights through sinister means.

The film boasts a talented supporting cast, including Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, John Lithgow, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, and Jillian Dion. Clocking in at over three and a half hours, the film is penned by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Eric Roth, known for his work on acclaimed films like "Forrest Gump" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." "Killers of the Flower Moon" marks Scorsese's return to the director's chair following the success of his 2019 Netflix hit, "The Irishman."

While being distributed by Apple, "Killers of the Flower Moon" is set to hit theaters on October 6th, with a later streaming release on Apple TV. Don't miss the new full-length trailer, above.
