There was no shortage of fan excitement ahead of a special screening of Martin Scorsese’s latest film Killers Of The Flower Moon in Los Angeles.
The legendary filmmaker’s epic Western crime drama film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, has received a healthy dose of critical acclaim, which includes praise for the cast, cinematography, musical score and Scorsese’s direction.
A swarm of fans were on the streets to greet co-leading man Robert De Niro, 80, when he and partner Tiffany Chen stepped out of their SUV.
The two-time Academy Award-winner, who kept it casual in the fashion department in black pants and a dark blue blazer over a charcoal shirt, led his lady towards the theater, all while fans yelled out in adoration.
Gladstone, 37, and Scorsese, 81, would also feel the love of the enthusiastic fans when they made their grand arrivals for the promotional event.

The film’s director and co-writer Martin Scorsese, 81, appeared to over the moon over the response they received, from the looks of his jovial smile he flashed en route to the screening
Gladstone showed off her spot-on fashion sense by wearing a full-length black-patterned dress that fell down to her matching pumps.
The lovely number came complete with short sleeves, a conservative neckline, and small white designs, all while it hugged her womanly curves.
The Kalispell, Montana native accessorized with a black leather purse, and had her dark tresses styled long, straight and flowing well past her shoulders with a part in the middle.
Scorsese revved up the excitement when he stepped out of his vehicle smiling and laughing alongside a few men who led his way past the crowd of fans.
At certain points, the heralded writer and director looked like he was in on some inside joke, decked out in a blue pinstripe suit that he matched with a blue dress shirt and black dress shoes.
Killers Of The Flower Moon made its world premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in May 2023
It was theatrically released in the U.S. on October 20, 2023, by Apple TV+ under its Apple Original Films label alongside Paramount Pictures.
So far the film, which cost about $200 million to make, has grossed over $156 million at the worldwide box office.
Killers Of The Flower Moon is the tenth collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese
Gladstone’s performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama

Co-written by Scorsese and Eric Roth, Killers Of The Flower Moon tells the true story of the ‘reign of terror’ that left two dozen Native Americans dead.
The Apple-backed film, based on a 2017 book of the same name by David Grann, is Scorsese’s first attempt at the Western genre.
Like the best-selling book, the screenplay depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma.
The subsequent investigation into the killings, directed by a then 29-year-old J. Edgar Hoover and former Texas Ranger Tom White, helped launch Hoover’s FBI.
DiCaprio plays Ernest Burkhart, the weak-willed nephew of William Hale (De Niro), a local businessman who wants the Osage oil rights.
