What Happens At Night – Check out Jennifer Lawrence & Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s new psychological horror film

Apple Original Films today announced that principal photography for Martin Scorsese’s What Happens at Night has begun, and unveiled a first-look at the highly anticipated feature starring and produced by Academy Award-winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. Filming is underway in the Czech Republic, with support from the Czech Film Commission. We know why Leonardo DiCaprio was sporting that dashing moustache at the Oscars. The film also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson, Jared Harris and Welker White.

What Happens at Night is adapted from the novel of the same name by Peter Cameron.

Check out the book synopsis:

A couple travel to a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby, who they hope will resurrect their failing marriage. Their difficult journey leaves the wife desperately weak, and her husband worries that her apparent illness will prevent the orphanage from releasing their child.

The couple check into the cavernous and eerily deserted Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel where they are both helped and hampered by the people they encounter: an ancient, flamboyant chanteuse, a debauched businessman, an enigmatic faith healer, and a stoical bartender who dispenses an addictive, lichen-flavoured schnapps.

Nothing is as it seems in this baffling, frozen world, and the longer the couple endure the punishing cold the less they seem to know about their marriage, themselves, and even life itself.

Scorsese will direct and produce for Sikelia Productions. DiCaprio, Lawrence and Daniel Lupi also serve as producers. Executive producers are Lisa Frechette and Marianne Bower for Sikelia, Jennifer Davisson for Appian Way, and Justine Ciarrocchi for Excellent Cadaver.

“What Happens at Night” marks the latest collaboration for Scorsese, DiCaprio and Apple Original Films following the history-making and 10-time Academy Award nominated feature “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Lawrence has collaborated with Apple Original Films on projects including “Causeway” and “Bread & Roses,” along with the upcoming murder mystery feature “The Wives” in which she is set to star and produce.
