The forthcoming movie is based on Peter Cameron’s acclaimed novel of the same name, originally published in 2020.

The blurb for the book explains how they encounter characters “ranging from an ancient, flamboyant chanteuse to a debauched businessman to an enigmatic faith healer”, which also notes, “Nothing is as it seems in this baffling, frozen world, and the more the couple struggles to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about their marriage, themselves, and life itself.”

Apart from the casting of DiCaprio and Lawrence, there has been no further information regarding who else will appear in What Happens at Night. However, Lawrence has now lifted the lid on when it should enter production.

She told IndieWire: “Hopefully, a January/February situation. But one never knows with these things. I’ll believe it when I’m there. We’re going to dig in. Leo and I worked together on Don’t Look Up.”

In addition to appearing together in Don’t Look Up, a film which also counted Scorsese as an executive producer, Lawrence recently heaped praise upon DiCaprio’s most recent movie, One Battle After Another. “Oh, my god. I saw it last night in 70mm IMAX as God intended. It’s the most incredible movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” she told the New York Times.

Lawrence’s new movie, Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay, is set to be released in UK cinemas on November 7th. The film, which also stars Robert Pattinson, is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz and follows a couple who leave New York behind for a quieter rural life, which causes the cracks in their relationship to unravel.
