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

Speaking at a Marrakech tribute, she cited True Detective as shaping her view that multi‑episode formats better serve complex histories.

Overview

  • The comments came on stage at the Marrakech Film Festival on November 30, where Foster was honored with a tribute.
  • She argued streaming allows longer, deeper storytelling and called it the current home of “real narrative” in the United States, contrasting theaters dominated by franchise superhero films.
  • Referencing Martin Scorsese’s 2023 film, she said the feature format emphasized two male leads rather than centering Indigenous perspectives.
  • Foster suggested an unmade eight‑hour limited series could have broadened viewpoints, including an episode focused on the Native story.
  • She linked her stance to experience on True Detective, and no public response from Scorsese or the film’s team was reported.
