| How Much Of Killers Of The Flower Moon Was Filmed In Oklahoma |
Buckle Up, Buttercup: We're Headed to Oklahoma!
Forget spaceships and moondust. "Killers of the Flower Moon" filmed right here on good ol' Earth, specifically in the great state of Oklahoma. That's right, folks, 100% authentic Osage County for your viewing pleasure. Seems Scorsese wasn't interested in phoning it in (or phoning it in from the moon, for that matter). He wanted the real deal, the historical dirt under the actors' boots (or fancy 1920s shoes, whatever).
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
So, Why Oklahoma?
Well, the movie is based on a true story that took place in 1920s Oklahoma, centering around the murders of members of the Osage Nation. Filming there adds a whole new layer of authenticity, like stepping right into a time machine (except way less likely to give you a sunburn). Plus, it probably saved a fortune on spacesuits and oxygen tanks.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
