Patricia Clarkson (Shutter Island, “Sharp Objects”) has been cast in Martin Scorsese‘s What Happens at Night, Deadline has learned.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence will star in the film, which hails from Apple Studios in partnership with Studiocanal.
Scorsese is directing from a script by Patrick Marber (Closer, Notes on a Scandal), based on Peter Cameron‘s 2020 horror mystery novel.
Drawing comparisons to The Shining and “Twin Peaks,” What Happens at Night is a dream-like story of a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby.
They check into a cavernous, largely deserted hotel where they encounter an enigmatic cast of characters including a flamboyant chanteuse, a depraved businessman, and a charismatic faith healer.
Nothing is quite as it seems in this strange, frozen world. As the couple struggle to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about themselves and the life they’ve built together.
Scorsese will produce What Happens at Night via his Sikelia Productions.
The project will mark Scorsese and DiCaprio’s seventh feature collaboration, following Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon.
