Scorsese to Direct DiCaprio Lawrence in Ghost Story Adaptation for Apple Studiocanal

Martin Scorsese is set to direct "What Happens at Night," a ghost story adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, with production expected to start in January 2026. The film, based on Peter Cameron's novel and adapted by Patrick Marber, follows a married couple visiting a snowbound European town to adopt a baby, where they encounter strange characters at a fading hotel and confront deep personal uncertainties. Apple Original Films is in talks to finance and produce the project with Studiocanal, continuing their collaborations with Scorsese and DiCaprio. This will mark Scorsese and DiCaprio’s seventh film together and Lawrence’s first time working under Scorsese’s direction, though he previously produced her film "Die My Love." The project has drawn comparisons to "The Shining" and "Twin Peaks" for its dream-like, eerie atmosphere. DiCaprio and Lawrence previously co-starred in "Don’t Look Up," and both have upcoming films garnering attention ahead of awards season.
