Martin Scorsese strikes a sobering tone when asked about the future of his directing career ahead of Killers of the Flower Moon's premiere.
Martin Scorsese provides a sobering view of his directing career in a new interview. With an illustrious career that spans the past five decades, Scorsese is one of the most influential filmmakers and most important voices in cinema alive, directing films like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In an extensive interview with Deadline ahead of Killers of the Flower Moon's premiere, Scorsese opened up about everything from his career, his new crime drama, and the current state of cinema. At the end of the interview, Scorsese struck a sobering tone when asked about the future of his directing career.
I wish I could take a break for eight weeks and make a film at the same time [laughs]. The whole world has opened up to me, but it’s too late. It’s too late. I’m old. I read stuff. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time. Kurosawa, when he got his Oscar, when George [Lucas] and Steven [Spielberg] gave it to him, he said, “I’m only now beginning to see the possibility of what cinema could be, and it’s too late.” He was 83.
Will Killers of the Flower Moon Be Martin Scorsese's Final Film? At 80 years old, Scorsese is likely nearing the end of his directorial career, as he is clearly coming to terms with his own mortality in the new interview. However, even as an octogenarian, he has lost no enthusiasm for filmmaking, and with the clock ticking on his career, Scorsese is eager to move on to his next project with little rest.
If the project with DiCaprio comes together, Scorsese's next film will likely be The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder, an adaptation of a book by David Grann, who is the same author behind Killers of the Flower Moon's source material. But even if Martin Scorsese does decide to hang it up after his latest film releases in theaters this October, he will likely retire with yet another masterpiece entered into his already illustrious filmography.
