What Happens at Night is now in production.
A first look at the upcoming Gothic psychological horror film was shared on X by Apple TV. The image shows Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as a married American couple arriving in a small, snowy European town.
What Happens at Night will be directed by Martin Scorsese, serving as his 44th feature film. Patrick Marber wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is an adaptation of Peter Cameron‘s 2020 novel of the same name.
In What Happens at Night, per the novel’s synopsis, “An unnamed American couple travels to a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby. It’s a difficult journey that leaves the wife, who is struggling with cancer, desperately weak, and her husband worries that her illness will prevent the orphanage from releasing their child.
“On arrival, the couple checks into the cavernous and eerily deserted Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel where the bar is always open and the lobby populated with an enigmatic cast of characters ranging from an ancient, flamboyant chanteuse to a debauched businessman to an enigmatic faith healer. Nothing is as it seems in this baffling, frozen world, and the more the couple struggles to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about their marriage, themselves, and life itself.”
Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson, Jared Harris, and Welker White also star in What Happens at Night. Apple Original Films is on board as distributor.
