Jodie Foster Says 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Should Have Been an Eight-Hour Series

At a Marrakech Film Festival tribute, she argued long-form streaming better serves expansive historical stories.

Overview

  • Foster made the remarks on November 30 during an on-stage conversation at the Marrakech Film Festival, where she received a tribute.
  • She said Scorsese’s 2023 film, which runs about three and a half hours, would have been more effective as an eight-hour limited series.
  • Citing her work on True Detective, Foster described streaming as the current home for complex narrative storytelling in the U.S.
  • She criticized the movie for centering two male characters and said a series could have foregrounded Osage perspectives, including Native women.
  • Coverage of her comments reported no response from Scorsese or indications of any new adaptation, characterizing her remarks as her opinion.
