The first official images from the shooting of “What Happens at Night” are here, currently taking place with our western neighbors in the Czech Republic, promising a surreal and seriously unsettling movie experience.
While Scorsese's previous collaboration with DiCaprio in the film Killers of the Flower Moon snagged ten Oscar nominations, the new project dives into much darker, psychological depths.
The plot puts the main characters in a tough spot. The wife is not only battling a serious cancer, but once the couple arrives in a small town, they find themselves stuck in a mysterious, almost-empty hotel called the Grand Imperial. Its halls are filled with strange characters, from an eccentric aging singer to a mysterious healer. As the story unfolds, the couple faces not just the orphanage bureaucracy but gradually loses confidence in their marriage and reality itself.
First Looks and a Strong Cast
The heavy tension is confirmed by the first released photo, which Leonardo DiCaprio himself shared on social media. The shot suggests that the legendary director is going for strong visual isolation and a dreamy tone this time around.
The release date for this atmospheric thriller is still unknown, but it's already one of the most anticipated titles of the upcoming film season.
