There have in all probability been 5 – 6 “subsequent initiatives” that Martin Scorsese has been reported to be directing after he did “Killers of the Flower Moon” in 2023, however this one could lastly have some actual legs to it.
Scorsese has dedicated to directing “What Occurs at Night time,” which is a creepy ghost story adaptation of a 2020 guide by Peter Cameron, a person with information of the mission advised IndieWire. Leonardo DiCaprio, naturally, could be starring within the movie alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Apple Unique Movies can be circling the mission, with an eye fixed to finance and produce it alongside Studiocanal, which developed the script.
What makes “What Occurs at Night time” seem to be this actually is the following one is that there’s a pretty-soon begin date of January being eyed (although wouldn’t Leo be within the midst of an Oscar marketing campaign for “One Battle After One other?”). Apple although additionally has first look offers with Scorsese’s Sikelia manufacturing banner and DiCaprio’s Appian Method, so the reunion after “Killers of the Flower Moon” is smart.
It additionally has a script! Patrick Marber (“Nearer,” “Notes on a Scandal”) wrote it, with Studiocanal growing it since 2023, approach again when Scorsese at that time was simply all in favour of producing. The story has some severe “The Shining” meets “Shutter Island” vibes a couple of couple who travels to Europe and checks in at a mysterious resort to undertake a toddler, solely to see that nothing is because it appears and because the spouse of the couple is in poor health with a most cancers analysis.
However let’s not neglect that Scorsese has been kicking round a number of initiatives since “Flower Moon” that each one made simply as a lot believable sense. There was a “Sinatra” biopic we’ve been listening to about ceaselessly, and that one would’ve additionally starred DiCaprio and Lawrence as Ava Gardner. There was a report of a criminal offense drama set in Hawaii that will’ve starred Dwayne Johnson. There was “The Lifetime of Jesus,” which was paused for script revisions. Apple was additionally reportedly circling one other Scorsese/DiCaprio mission that will’ve been primarily based on the “Gilead” collection of books. And we have been additionally advised that one other long-gestating mission that has modified a ton of palms, “The Satan and the White Metropolis,” was being revived at twentieth Century with, you guessed it, DiCaprio connected once more. We all know he’ll decide up the cellphone anytime Marty calls. This might be their seventh film collectively.
DiCaprio for what its value has additionally been connected to a ton of initiatives, with no clear indication of what his subsequent could be. Damien Chazelle needed to do an Evel Knievel biopic, and that will have lastly fallen by way of.
Lawrence in the meantime starred in Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” that premiered at Cannes and was acquired by MUBI, and she or he’s additionally been circling a few A24 movies as nicely.
No matter Scorsese does direct subsequent, let’s hope it’s quickly for the 82-year-old legend.
Deadline first reported the information.
