Apple takes another big step in entertainment, this time producing a $150 million-plus movie directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. Apple will bear the cost of the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon, while Paramount will distribute it to theaters around the world. The advantage for Apple? He'll be bringing the film to his Apple TV Plus streaming service, according to a Deadline report, marking by far his biggest film project. Apparently, Apple has outbid other competitors like Netflix to get the movie. The report says the budget for the project could be between €180 and €200 million. This marks Apple's second big twist in a week for a major movie on its streaming service. Last week, he secured the rights to Greyhound, a Tom Hanks World War II film originally intended for theatrical release. Apparently, it cost €70 million. This film is based on the 2017 nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, about the murders of wealthy members of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma in the 1920s. DiCaprio and De Niro They play the main roles. It is described as a "large-scale western".

Apple is about to shake up the streaming wars again

While Apple TV Plus launched in November 2019 and released a regular clip of new projects, this is the kind of big splash that will help the electronics giant bring attention to its streaming service across the board. the line. Sure, it's expensive, but Apple theoretically has all the money in the world to make its streaming service a huge success. The Irishman, despite not having won an Oscar, has received 10 nominations and a lot of attention on Netflix. Maybe that's the kind of credibility Apple is looking for here.
