Leonardo DiCaprio announces his next film with Martin Scorsese
A Hitchcockian thriller with Jennifer Lawrence…
Their last collaboration was Killers of the Flower Moonwhich received ten Oscar nominations in 2023.
The duo Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio remains one of the most prestigious in Hollywood.
Invited during a Q&A session at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Leo confirmed that the filmmaker is currently working on several projects with him. Including a film about Frank Sinatra “still in development”, confides the actor. The project still faces a major obstacle: obtaining the rights to the singer’s life, which Scorsese has been trying to secure for years.
On the other hand, they will be shooting another film very soon. Leonardo DiCaprio reveals his name will be What Happens at Night and it should start very soon:
“We’re doing our next movie with Jennifer Lawrence. I’m leaving to shoot that in two weeks, so it’ll be a new adventure.”
Directed by Martin Scorsese on a screenplay by Patrick Marber, the feature film will once again bring together Leo with Jennifer Lawrence, who had already shared the screen in Don’t Look Up on Netflix. Note that Scorsese was already a producer on Die, My Lovethe actress’s Cannes film with Robert Pattinson. But this will be his first time directing Lawrence directly.
The film will also feature Patricia Clarkson and Mads Mikkelsen. Financing is being discussed between Apple Original Films and StudioCanal.
What will it be about? Leonardo DiCaprio explains that it will be a film whose atmosphere will be reminiscent of that of Vertigothe cult psychological thriller by Alfred Hitchcock – which suggests a dark and obsessive work.
