Apple TV has officially announced the start of principal photography on a major new original film, “What Happens at Night,” directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese and starring Academy Award winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. The project, an Apple Original Film, reunites Scorsese with DiCaprio after their acclaimed collaboration on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which garnered 10 Oscar nominations. Scorsese has become a frequent collaborator with Apple, including recent appearances in projects like the Keanu Reeves comedy “Outcome” and various documentaries. Adapted from Peter Cameron’s novel of the same name, “What Happens at Night” is a dream-like psychological thriller. The story follows an unnamed American couple (portrayed by DiCaprio and Lawrence) who travel to a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby. The wife is battling cancer and becomes desperately weak during the journey, raising concerns that her illness could prevent the orphanage from releasing the child. Upon arrival, they check into the cavernous and eerily deserted Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel, where the bar is always open and the lobby is populated by an enigmatic cast of characters — including an ancient, flamboyant chanteuse, a debauched businessman, and an enigmatic faith healer. As the couple struggles to claim their baby in this baffling, frozen world where nothing is as it seems, deeper uncertainties surface about their marriage, their identities, and life itself. The supporting cast features an impressive lineup including Patricia Clarkson, Jared Harris, Mads Mikkelsen, and Welker White. Apple TV confirmed the film’s existence and production status on March 19, 2026, via its official @AppleTV account on X, sharing the first-look image of DiCaprio and Lawrence in character:
The photo depicts the couple walking in the snow in front of a frost-covered vehicle, capturing the story’s wintry, mysterious atmosphere. Principal photography is underway, with reports indicating filming will continue through May 2026. While no official release date has been set, the production schedule suggests a possible premiere as early as fall 2026, potentially positioning it as a contender for the 2027 awards season. Those who can wrap their heads around Apple’s massive cash mountain and the company’s unparalleled ability to generate cash can clearly see who the winner will be. The most talented producers, writers, directors, editors, actors, etc. are attracted to exactly what Apple has and makes in vast abundance: Cash. The king. Like bears to honey, it’s happening already. — MacDailyNews, January 3, 2018 Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
