There have most likely been 5 or 6 “subsequent initiatives” that Martin Scorsese has been reported to be directing after he did “Killers of the Flower Moon” in 2023, however this one might lastly have some actual legs to it.
Scorsese has dedicated to directing “What Occurs at Evening,” which is a creepy ghost story adaptation of a 2020 ebook by Peter Cameron, a person with information of the undertaking informed IndieWire. Leonardo DiCaprio, naturally, could be starring within the movie alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Apple Authentic Movies can also be circling the undertaking, with a watch to finance and produce it alongside Studiocanal, which developed the script.
What makes “What Occurs at Evening” look like this actually is the subsequent one is that there’s a pretty-soon begin date of January being eyed (although wouldn’t Leo be within the midst of an Oscar marketing campaign for “One Battle After One other?”). Apple although additionally has first look offers with Scorsese’s Sikelia manufacturing banner and DiCaprio’s Appian Means, so the reunion after “Killers of the Flower Moon” is sensible.
It additionally has a script! Patrick Marber (“Nearer,” “Notes on a Scandal”) wrote it, with Studiocanal creating it since 2023, method again when Scorsese at that time was simply focused on producing. The story has some severe “The Shining” meets “Shutter Island” vibes a couple of couple who travels to Europe and checks in at a mysterious resort to undertake a baby, solely to see that nothing is because it appears and because the spouse of the couple is in poor health with a most cancers analysis.
However let’s not neglect that Scorsese has been kicking round a number of initiatives since “Flower Moon” that each one made simply as a lot believable sense. There was a “Sinatra” biopic we’ve been listening to about without end, and that one would’ve additionally starred DiCaprio and Lawrence as Ava Gardner. There was a report of a criminal offense drama set in Hawaii that might’ve starred Dwayne Johnson. There was “The Lifetime of Jesus,” which was paused for script revisions. Apple was additionally reportedly circling one other Scorsese/DiCaprio undertaking that might’ve been based mostly on the “Gilead” sequence of books. And we have been additionally informed that one other long-gestating undertaking that has modified a ton of fingers, “The Satan and the White Metropolis,” was being revived at twentieth Century with, you guessed it, DiCaprio hooked up once more. We all know he’ll choose up the telephone anytime Marty calls. This may be their seventh film collectively.
DiCaprio for what its price has additionally been hooked up to a ton of initiatives, with no clear indication of what his subsequent could be. Damien Chazelle needed to do an Evel Knievel biopic, and that will have lastly fallen via.
Lawrence in the meantime starred in Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” that premiered at Cannes and was acquired by MUBI, and he or she’s additionally been circling a few A24 movies as effectively.
No matter Scorsese does direct subsequent, let’s hope it’s quickly for the 82-year-old legend.
