Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed film “Killers of the Flower Moon” will start streaming globally on Apple TV+ on Jan. 12, Apple Original Films announced on Thursday.

The film was produced by Imperative Entertainment, Sikelia Productions and Appian Way alongside Apple Studios. Scorsese and Eric Roth wrote the screenplay based on Grann’s book.
In addition to widespread critical acclaim, “Killers of the Flower Moon” has landed on several Oscars shortlists for Best Makeup and Hair, Best Sound, Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
