And the Silicon Valley company is competing for eyeballs at a time when a slew of new streaming services have jumped in the fray with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, including Disney&#8217;s news Disney+ and WarnerMedia&#8217;s HBO Max.</p><p>Scorsese — who most recently sold the rights <strong>&#8220;The Irishman,&#8221;</strong> starring Robert De Niro, to Netflix — will kick off the Apple deal with &#8220;Killers of the Flower Moon,&#8221; an Eric Roth-scripted adaptation of the David Grann non-fiction book starring De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, another Scorsese favorite.</p><p>The project, which has been held up by coronavirus-related production delays, is set to begin filming in February 2021.</p><p>Apple had announced in May that it would produce &#8220;Killers of the Flower Moon,&#8221; about a series of murders of wealthy Native Americans that took place in the early 1920&#8217;s, after <strong>nabbing the rights to film</strong> at auction for around $180 million. As part of the deal with Sikelia Productions, ViacomCBS&#8217; Paramount Pictures will distribute the the movie in theaters before it finds its permanent home on AppleTV+.</p>]]></content:encoded>
