Scorsese, DiCaprio Reunite for Dark Thriller

Martin Scorsese is gearing up to direct Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in their inaugural cinematic collaboration, "What Happens At Night." The highly anticipated film is slated for production beginning early 2026. Based on Peter Cameron's novel, the project weaves together psychological thriller and gothic drama elements, promising a dark and atmospheric viewing experience.

The narrative centers on an American couple venturing to a secluded, snow-covered European locale for a baby adoption. Their stay at a vast, nearly deserted hotel introduces them to peculiar characters, deepening the unsettling and surreal mood of their experience. The lines between reality and illusion begin to blur as the couple navigates complex emotional and psychological challenges.

Adding to the film's layers, the wife's struggle with cancer introduces themes of vulnerability and mortality. With a screenplay adapted by Patrick Marber, the story incorporates magical realism and subtle supernatural undertones. This new venture reunites Scorsese and DiCaprio, known for their work on "Shutter Island," and marks a significant creative partnership with Jennifer Lawrence.
