Martin Scorsese Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Martin Scorsese has just made headlines again with the announcement of his next directorial project. According to recent reports from LA Magazine and The Statesman, Scorsese will adapt Peter Cameron's acclaimed novel "What Happens at Night," with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence set to star as the central couple. This marks another major collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio, but it will be his first time directing Jennifer Lawrence. Production is scheduled to begin in January 2026, pending final negotiations between Apple Original Films and Studiocanal, who secured the rights last year. Screenwriter Patrick Marber is penning the adaptation, which promises to be a haunting, atmospheric piece set in an isolated, snowbound European town where the protagonists grapple with their unraveling reality while attempting to adopt a child.

Buzz is high given this high-profile pairing—especially as DiCaprio and Lawrence shared the screen in the hit satire "Don't Look Up," and Lawrence is enjoying a wave of critical acclaim from her recent Cannes-praised role in "Die My Love," which was produced by Scorsese. Variety and Cinema Express report early Oscar buzz already swirling around this new project and the actors attached to it.

Scorsese, renowned for his enduring energy and appetite for storytelling at age 82, continues to produce and star in multiple projects. In addition to "What Happens at Night," Cinema Express notes he’s also attached to a new, untitled Hawaiian-set crime drama starring DiCaprio, Emily Blunt, and Dwayne Johnson. The project reportedly mixes elements of "Jungle Cruise" and "Goodfellas." Separately, Scorsese is stepping in front of the camera as well, set to play Dante Alighieri's mentor in Julian Schnabel's upcoming adaptation of "In the Hand of Dante," a star-studded project featuring Oscar Isaac and Al Pacino.

On social media, the announcement of "What Happens at Night" has caused a fresh wave of excitement, with film Twitter and major fan accounts celebrating the reunion of DiCaprio and Scorsese and the first-time pairing with Lawrence. Early conversations center on the gothic, psychological premise and the potential for awards season dominance.

No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced in recent days about Scorsese. Coverage by IMDb and LA Magazine has been especially effusive, framing this project as a significant chapter that could shape the later years of his career. As we continue to watch one of cinema’s greatest storytellers expand his already legendary body of work, all eyes will be on the unique alchemy Scorsese creates when filming kicks off next year.
