The dream duo is reuniting.

Many directors have one actor whom they seem to collaborate with more often than not.

For Martin Scorsese, that actor is Leonardo DiCaprio.

The pair’s working relationship began in 2002 and have spawned 5 films, including Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Their partnership has been so successful that it has garnered $1.3 billion in earnings, 2 Academy Award nominations and 1 win.

Leo and Martin are now set to team up once again for the filmmaker’s new project, Killers of the Flower Moon. Based on the New York Times best-seller by David Grann, the FBI investigates a series of murders after oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma.

The screenplay has been written by Eric Roth who most recently penned A Star Is Born and is due for release in 2020.
