Apple Original Films Published Mar 19, 2026, 2:44 PM EDT Chris Yogerst is a writer at MovieWeb  and regular contributor to The Hollywood Reporter . His work can also be found in the Los Angeles Times,   Washington Post, Time  magazine,  LA Review of Books , etc.  In addition to journalism, Yogerst is also a historian (and former professor) who is the author of several books, including The Warner Brothers (2023) and Hollywood Hates Hitler (2020).  His writes a substack called Adventures in the Archive that focuses on a range of historical topics, not limited to film and TV history.  Sign in to your MovieWeb account Martin Scorsese has long been known as our premier crime director, making films like Goodfellas (1990) and Wolf of Wall Street (2013) staples of our cinematic culture. Films like The King of Comedy (1982), once branded "flop of the year," have taken on legendary status among the director's fans. Thrillers like Shutter Island (2010), though receiving mixed reviews upon release, also continue to gain respect in the maestro's catalog. Scorsese maintains a willingness to venture into a range of genres, always with contagious curiosity and excitement. The director is back in the thriller genre with What Happens at Night , starring first-time Scorsese collaborator Jennifer Lawrence and long-time teammate Leonardo DiCaprio. The cast includes Jared Harris, Mads Mikkelsen, and Patricia Clarkson (who also starred in Shutter Island with DiCaprio). Apple released the first still from the upcoming film, featuring Lawrence and DiCaprio outside a vehicle in the chilly winter countryside. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence standing outside of a car in the snow Apple Original Films What Happens at Night is a psychological horror thriller adapted from Peter Cameron's novel of the same title about a couple who travels to Europe to adopt a child. Scorsese grew up enjoying psychological horror films produced by Val Lewton ( Cat People , I Walked with a Zombie ), and even produced a documentary about the director's career. Working with Scorses always doubles as a film history seminar. The filmmaker has made numerous documentaries on American and Italian film history, while regularly giving guest lectures on the importance of cinema. DiCaprio told Lawrence to be ready for many "film references," telling the actress during Variety's Actors on Actors : “They usually come in the form of a DVD. And if you don’t have a DVD player, get one… he’ll have screenings sometimes for just one sequence in a movie. If there’s something that he wants you to capture from an old film or the pacing of something, you might have a screening of a whole film just for a specific scene that he wants to see. We might see some Japanese ghost films for reference, just to get the tone of it. You’re going to have an amazing time.” Paramount Pictures When DiCaprio was preparing for Shutter Island , the director sat him down for an education on one of Scorsese's favorite filmmakers, Sam Fuller. The two watched Shock Corridor (1963), about a police officer who admits himself into a psych ward in an attempt to solve a murder. The director also screened noir classics Laura (1944) and Out of the Past (1947) for DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Ben Kingsley. Preparing for their new film, Scorsese had DiCaprio watch Alfred Hitchcock's psychological masterpiece Vertigo (1958). Scorsese has also been the subject of a documentary on his own storied career, Mr. Scorsese , Apple's five-part docuseries in which he waxes ecstatic about his love for Hitchcock, Powell & Pressburger, John Ford as well as many others throughout history. Scorsese reminds us, always so eloquently, about why movies matter. There's a reason why he, along with Steven Spielberg and Paul Thomas Anderson, have helped keep Turner Classic Movies alive. They want films of the past easily accessible to inform the future of filmmaking. There's no doubt that his love of cinema history will be present in What Happens at Night.

[Sign in to your MovieWeb account]() [Martin Scorsese](https://movieweb.com/person/martin-scorsese/) has long been known as our premier crime director, making films like *Goodfellas* (1990) and *Wolf of Wall Street* (2013) staples of our cinematic culture. Films like *The King of Comedy* (1982), [once branded "flop of the year,"](https://movieweb.com/martin-scorsese-reflects-on-robert-de-niros-controversial-classic-the-king-of-comedy/) have taken on legendary status among the director's fans. Thrillers like *Shutter Island* (2010), though receiving mixed reviews upon release, also [continue to gain respect](https://movieweb.com/shutter-island-ending/) in the maestro's catalog. Scorsese maintains a willingness to venture into a range of genres, always with contagious curiosity and excitement. The director is back in the thriller genre with [*What Happens at Night*](https://movieweb.com/what-happens-at-night-cast-plot/), starring first-time Scorsese collaborator Jennifer Lawrence and long-time teammate Leonardo DiCaprio. The cast includes Jared Harris, Mads Mikkelsen, and Patricia Clarkson (who also starred in *Shutter Island* with DiCaprio). Apple released the first still from the upcoming film, featuring Lawrence and DiCaprio outside a vehicle in the chilly winter countryside. ![What Happens at Night Apple TV](https://static0.moviewebimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/what-happens-at-night-apple-tv.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence standing outside of a car in the snow Apple Original Films *What Happens at Night* is a psychological horror thriller adapted from Peter Cameron's novel of the same title about a couple who travels to Europe to adopt a child. Scorsese grew up enjoying psychological horror films produced by Val Lewton (*Cat People*, *I Walked with a Zombie*), and even produced a documentary about the director's career. Working with Scorses always doubles as a film history seminar. The filmmaker has made numerous documentaries on American and Italian film history, while regularly giving guest lectures on the importance of cinema. DiCaprio told Lawrence to be ready for many "film references," [telling the actress during *Variety's Actors on Actors*](https://variety.com/2025/film/features/leonardo-dicaprio-jennifer-lawrence-titanic-scorsese-1236609459/): > “They usually come in the form of a DVD. And if you don’t have a DVD player, get one… he’ll have screenings sometimes for just one sequence in a movie. If there’s something that he wants you to capture from an old film or the pacing of something, you might have a screening of a whole film just for a specific scene that he wants to see. We might see some Japanese ghost films for reference, just to get the tone of it. You’re going to have an amazing time.” ![Martin Scorsese on the set of Shutter Island](https://static0.moviewebimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/martin-scorsese.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Paramount Pictures When DiCaprio was preparing for *Shutter Island*, the director sat him down for an education on one of Scorsese's favorite filmmakers, Sam Fuller. The two watched *Shock Corridor* (1963), about a police officer who admits himself into a psych ward in an attempt to solve a murder. The director also screened noir classics *Laura* (1944) and *Out of the Past* (1947) for DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Ben Kingsley. Preparing for their new film, Scorsese had DiCaprio watch [Alfred Hitchcock's psychological masterpiece](https://movieweb.com/vertigo-kim-novak-confirms-hitchcock-non-intrusive-directing-style/) *[Vertigo](https://movieweb.com/vertigo-kim-novak-confirms-hitchcock-non-intrusive-directing-style/)* (1958). Scorsese has also been the subject of a documentary on his own storied career, *Mr. Scorsese*, Apple's five-part docuseries in which he waxes ecstatic about his love for Hitchcock, Powell & Pressburger, John Ford as well as many others throughout history. Scorsese reminds us, always so eloquently, about why movies matter. There's a reason why he, along with Steven Spielberg and Paul Thomas Anderson, have helped keep Turner Classic Movies alive. They want films of the past easily accessible to inform the future of filmmaking. There's no doubt that his love of cinema history will be present in *What Happens at Night.*
