The murders prompted the newly-formed FBI to investigate.
The film has already had a number of reshoots and pick ups in 2022 after its original shoot in 2021 and Scorsese has form for lengthy films with “The Wolf of Wall Street” running for 180 minutes and “The Irishman” at 209 minutes – his longest to date.
