Steam & Excursion > Killers of the Flower Moon

As a Martin Scorsese fan, I've been waiting for this film for a while now. A trailer is now out for it, featuring a few shots of Virginia & Truckee 29. Scorsese directing some of his favorite all stars and a slew of other talent plus a steamer in a gripping story has me all giddy.

Thank you, A-1, for bringing this movie to our attention.  After watching the video and reading more about it on line, I am also looking forward to seeing this film.

This is definitely a "gotta-see" movie!  It is based on fact, and four years of research were done prior to the beginning of filming.  Most of the filming was done in Oklahoma.  Was #29 (?) trucked to Oklahoma for filming, or was some of the filming done in Nevada?

I actually found out about it by seeing a post somewhere with a couple pictures of 29 being trucked to Oklahoma for some movie work. Supposedly the depot in the film was a prop and about 500 feet of track was laid for the film.

I haven't read the book it's based on yet, but from what I've gathered, it's based on a pretty dark episode of our history.

Been waiting for this to come out. In the trailer, you can see a couple of ATSF boxcars in the station background. I wonder if those were added post production or if they were real...
 

I watched the trailer.  Looks like it's going to be a very good movie, and is based on the book by David Grann.  The announced release date is in October.  I would have thought Paramount would have waited until November, since that is National Native American Indian Heritage Month.
