There have probably been five or six \u201cnext projects\u201d that Martin Scorsese<\/a> has been reported to be directing after he did \u201cKillers of the Flower Moon\u201d in 2023, but this one may finally have some real legs to it. <\/p>\n

Scorsese has committed to directing \u201cWhat Happens at Night,\u201d which is a creepy ghost story adaptation of a 2020 book by Peter Cameron, an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire. Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>, naturally, would be starring in the film<\/a> alongside Jennifer Lawrence<\/a>. Apple<\/a> Original Films is also circling the project, with an eye to finance and produce it alongside Studiocanal, which developed the script. <\/p>\n

\"Jason<\/a> \"'Depeche<\/a> <\/p>\n

What makes \u201cWhat Happens at Night\u201d seem like this really is the next one is that there\u2019s a pretty-soon start date of January being eyed (though wouldn\u2019t Leo be in the midst of an Oscar campaign for \u201cOne Battle After Another?\u201d). Apple though also has first look deals with Scorsese\u2019s Sikelia production banner and DiCaprio\u2019s Appian Way, so the reunion after \u201cKillers of the Flower Moon\u201d makes sense. <\/p>\n

It also has a script! Patrick Marber (\u201cCloser,\u201d \u201cNotes on a Scandal\u201d) wrote it, with Studiocanal developing it since 2023, way back when Scorsese at that point was just interested in producing. The story has some serious \u201cThe Shining\u201d meets \u201cShutter Island\u201d vibes about a couple who travels to Europe and checks in at a mysterious hotel to adopt a child, only to see that nothing is as it seems and as the wife of the couple is ill with a cancer diagnosis. <\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not forget that Scorsese has been kicking around several projects since \u201cFlower Moon\u201d that all made just as much plausible sense. There was a \u201cSinatra\u201d biopic we\u2019ve been hearing about forever<\/a>, and that one would\u2019ve also starred DiCaprio and Lawrence as Ava Gardner. There was a report of a crime drama set in Hawaii that would\u2019ve starred Dwayne Johnson<\/a>. There was \u201cThe Life of Jesus,\u201d<\/a> which was paused for script revisions. Apple was also reportedly circling another Scorsese\/DiCaprio project that would\u2019ve been based on the \u201cGilead\u201d series of books. And we were also told that another long-gestating project that has changed a ton of hands, \u201cThe Devil and the White City,\u201d was being revived at 20th Century<\/a> with, you guessed it, DiCaprio attached again. We know he\u2019ll pick up the phone anytime Marty calls. This would be their 7th movie together.<\/p>\n

DiCaprio for what its worth has also been attached to a ton of projects, with no clear indication of what his next would be. Damien Chazelle wanted to do an Evel Knievel biopic, and that may have finally fallen through. <\/p>\n

Lawrence meanwhile starred in Lynne Ramsay\u2019s \u201cDie, My Love\u201d that premiered at Cannes and was acquired by MUBI, and she\u2019s also been circling a couple of A24 films as well. <\/p>\n

Whatever Scorsese does direct next, let\u2019s hope it\u2019s soon for the 82-year-old legend. <\/p>\n
