David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book “Killers of the Flower Moon” was a gripping history of greed and murder on an oil-rich Osage reservation in Oklahoma.
“Grann has proved himself a master of spinning delicious, many-layered mysteries that also happen to be true,” Dave Eggers wrote in his review for The Times.
Scott about both the book and the movie, and the sometimes surprising ways they diverge.
“Scorsese’s adaptation … is a very different creature,” Scott says.
“It’s the same story, but it has such a different feel and texture, and gets you thinking about different aspects of the story.”
