Veteran actor Jared Harris (“Foundation,” “Chernobyl,” “Fringe”) has joined the cast of Martin Scorsese’s next film, “What Happens at Night”, which has officially begun production in Prague.
Harris adds to a cast that currently includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Mads Mikkelsen, and Patricia Clarkson, with further casting expected to be announced in the next few days.
Originally, Scorsese was only slated to produce the project for which Patrick Marber penned the script based on the Peter Cameron novel. The dream-like story follows a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby.
They check into a cavernous, largely deserted hotel where they encounter an enigmatic cast of characters, including a flamboyant chanteuse, a depraved businessman and a charismatic faith healer. Nothing is quite as it seems in this strange, frozen world.
As the couple struggle to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about themselves and the life they’ve built together.
This will mark Scorsese’s first directorial feature effort since “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which held its shoot back in 2021.
