Started by Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, the All In Challenge sees celebrities and stars auction experiences to raise funds to feed the elderly, children and frontline workers amidst the global pandemic and once a star accepts the challenge, they then challenge another star to join the cause. Donations are dispersed to Meals on Wheels America, No Kid Hungry and America’s Food Fund, and the Oscar winners challenged Matthew McConaughey (The Gentlemen), Ellen DeGeneres and Jamie Foxx (Baby Driver) to keep the charity rolling.
Based on the novel of the same name from David Grann (pick it up here!), the film will follow the investigation into the grisly murders of wealthy Osage people in Osage County, Oklahoma in the 1920s shortly after oil was discovered under their land. The FBI, still early in the creation phase, took on the case and discovered a horrible secret behind the spree.
“When I read David Grann’s book, I immediately started seeing it—the people, the settings, the action—and I knew that I had to make it into a movie,” Scorsese previously said. “I’m so excited to be working with Eric Roth and reuniting with Leo DiCaprio to bring this truly unsettling American story to the screen.”
Killers of the Flower Moon, written by Eric Roth (A Star is Born), is produced by Imperative Entertainment, who acquired the rights for the novel for $5 million, as well as Scorcese, Appian Way Productions and Sikelia Productions. It will be starring Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio with fellow Scorsese alum Robert De Niro previously in talks to join the cast.
