00:00Hi Leo! Hi Leo, we're live en route.

00:03What does that represent for you to be here in Cannes with this particular movie?

00:07Well, it means a lot.

00:09You know, we made this film with great respect to the Osage Nation and trying to tell their story.

00:15It's been a hundred years since the Osage reign of terror.

00:19And this film was... it took a lot of thought.

00:24And we were very careful in trying to listen to the Osage people

00:28and trying to tell the correct story as best we possibly could,

00:33almost from a forensic perspective.

00:35We optioned the book Killers of the Flower Moon

00:38and, you know, we developed these characters

00:41and we got into the heart of what we felt was the truth.

00:44So to be here to tell this story in front of this type of audience

00:49at the world's biggest film festival, I think is a great honor for us.

00:54And how was it to be on set with De Niro and Scorsese?

00:58As always, working with Mr. Scorsese is a very humbling and unique experience.

01:06I did my first film with Robert De Niro,

01:09so it's been almost 30 years since we've been able to work together again.

01:16So to me it was a magical moment that I'll never forget,

01:20and especially to tell this story.

01:22Thank you so much, Leonardo. Thank you.
