What Happens at Night First Look: DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Scorsese Leonardo DiCaprio’s recent mustache at the 2026 Oscars has been explained by the first look at Martin Scorsese’s “What Happens at Night,” a psychological horror film set in a European small town. The movie, adapted from Peter Cameron’s novel of the same name, follows a married couple who travel there to adopt a baby. The story explores their unraveling relationship as they struggle to claim their child, revealing a world where nothing is as it seems. DiCaprio headlines the film in a reunion with Jennifer Lawrence, his co-star from “Don’t Look Up.” This marks the first time Lawrence has worked with Scorsese, who is known for his intense direction in films like “Shutter Island” and “Goodfellas.” During a conversation for Variety’s “Actors on Actors,” Lawrence sought advice from DiCaprio on navigating Scorsese’s unique approach. DiCaprio shared that the director often references old films, sometimes screening entire movies to help actors grasp specific scenes. He mentioned that Japanese ghost films might be used for tone, emphasizing the director’s meticulous attention to detail. The film is produced by Apple, which also backed Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” While no release date has been announced, the project is expected to draw comparisons to Scorsese’s earlier psychological thrillers. The story’s eerie atmosphere and exploration of marital tension align with the director’s signature style, suggesting a return to the haunting narratives of his past work.

Netflix Acquires Julian Schnabel's 'In the Hand of Dante' Netflix has acquired Julian Schnabel's film In the Hand of Dante, an adaptation of Nick Tosches' 2002 novel. The project, which features a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Louis Cancelmi, Sabrina Impacciatore, Franco Nero, Benjamin Clementine, Paolo Bonacelli, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, and Jason Momoa, premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year. Schnabel, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker, was honored with the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the event for his contributions to cinema. The film follows Nick Tosches, a New York author played by Isaac, who is hired by a mafia don to verify and steal a priceless manuscript believed to be Dante Alighieri's original Divine Comedy. Isaac portrays both Tosches in the 21st century and Dante in the 14th century, navigating a narrative that spans time to explore themes of greed, faith, desire, and the pursuit of meaning. The story intertwines elements of crime, spirituality, and tragedy, transforming a thriller about a stolen book into a meditation on immortality, art, and love. Schnabel and Louise Kugelberg adapted Tosches' novel, with the film marking Schnabel's first project since his 2018 Oscar-nominated biopic At Eternity's Gate, which focused on Vincent van Gogh. The production is backed by a list of prominent producers, including Jon Kilik, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Olmo Schnabel, Gabriele Bebe Moratti, Vito Schnabel, and Julian Schnabel himself. Schnabel, who was recently recognized at the Texas Film Awards for his ties to the Lone Star State, grew up in Brownsville, Texas, a location that influenced both his artistic and cinematic work.#netflix #venice_film_festival #martin_scorsese #julian_schnabel #nick_tosches
