Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is a heavy contender for a prestigious world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. It’s still too early for it to be a lock, but it’s looking promising enough that Scorsese has reserved a suite at one of the posh hotels along the Croisette, sources tell Variety. 

Thierry Fremaux, Cannes’ director, is preparing a massive 2023 edition and traveled to L.A. earlier this month to screen Scorsese’s movie and discuss other potential Hollywood titles. Sources caution, however, that no formal offer has been made from Cannes and there is no final decision about whether Scorsese and company will embark on a trans-Atlantic promotional journey to France in May.
