Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio could reunite on Apple TV+, as the streamer negotiates for rights to a "quietly unsettling" horror film.
Legendary director Martin Scorsese is lining up his next project, set to star Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. The film has piqued Apple Original Films' interest, according to Deadline, with the company negotiating to finance and produce it.
The film, tentatively titled "What Happens at Night," is based on Peter Cameron's 2020 novel of the same name. Cameron, who has written several books, has seen three of his other works adapted for film.
The novel follows an American couple who travel to Europe to adopt a baby. The wife's declining health and the strange hotel they enter leave them questioning everything they know about their marriage, themselves, and life itself.
Reviews of the novel have called it chilling, relentlessly eloquent, and quietly unsettling.
A kind of homecoming
Apple's interest makes sense, given its previous collaboration with Scorsese and DiCaprio on the Apple Original "Killers of the Flower Moon." That film earned strong reviews, with a 93% critic score and 84% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Killers of the Flower Moon" scored a single Golden Globe award, and one SAG award. Both went to Lily Gladstone in "best actress" categories.
