The film is expected to begin production in January 2026, marking a significant reunion for Scorsese and DiCaprio after their previous collaborations.
This latest development comes on the heels of Scorsese’s critically acclaimed Killers of the Flower Moon, produced by Apple Original Films, which also finances this new venture alongside StudioCanal.

DiCaprio and Lawrence, both Oscar winners, have previously worked together on the sci-fi comedy Don’t Look Up (2021), and their dynamic will be a focal point in this ghost story adaptation. Patrick Marber, known for his work on Closer (2004) and The Critic (2023), penned the screenplay, ensuring a captivating narrative.
This film has taken precedence over other potential Scorsese projects, including a rumored film about Jesus and a mob story featuring Dwayne Johnson. Fans are eager to see what Scorsese will bring to the screen this time, especially with an intriguing plot involving the supernatural.
DiCaprio’s upcoming film, One Battle After Another directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is set to debut in the US next week, generating buzz around his latest role. Reports indicate that he was exploring several projects before committing to What Happens at Night, including a biopic of Evel Knievel.
As the film moves forward, details remain scarce, including an official release date. However, the collaboration between such esteemed talents is already stirring excitement within the film community. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
