Apple Original Films’ Killers of the Flower Moon marks the 16th time Martin Scorsese has worked with either Robert De Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio in a feature-length film, yet it’s the first Scorsese film that includes both actors in starring roles.

After a nearly 25-year break, Scorsese and De Niro reunited for 2019’s The Irishman, and now they’re back together again for 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
During the two-decade break in the Scorsese / De Niro films, the Oscar-winning director cast Leonardo DiCaprio in 2002’s Gangs of New York, 2004’s The Aviator, 2006’s The Departed, 2010’s Shutter Island, and...

The upcoming Apple film – which debuts in theaters on October 20 via Paramount – marks the 10th time Scorsese and De Niro have worked together on a feature and the sixth time Scorsese and DiCaprio have joined forces. It’s also the first film of Scorsese’s lengthy career to feature both actors simultaneously.
That it took so long for the three men to work together on a film might seem surprising – Scorsese has said De Niro was at least about both “Gangs of New York” and “The Departed” – but it was also kind of inevitable.

Damon considered himself extremely fortunate to land the Bourne franchise. It remains one of Damon’s most profitable projects. According to The Numbers, the Bourne films have grossed over $1 billion worldwide. This includes Jeremy Renner’s Bourne Legacy and Damon’s fourth film Jason Bourne.
Damon also appreciated what the Bourne films did for him financially. The money he was able to make from the spy thrillers freed him to do less profitable projects he had a passion for. Scorsese’s The Departed fell into this category.
