Described as being similar to The Shining, the 2020 mystery-thriller What Happens at Night is getting a high profile adaptation from producer Martin Scorsese, Deadline reports.
Studiocanal is adapting the novel written by Peter Cameron. Oscar nominee Patrick Marber (Notes On A Scandal) will be adapting the screenplay, Deadline also reports.
The website details, “What Happens At Night is a dream-like story of a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby.
“The couple 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.”
Peter Cameron said, “I could not be more honoured or delighted to have my novel optioned by Aaron Ensweiler and Shana Eddy at Studiocanal. And to have Martin Scorsese and Patrick Marber, two artists whose talents amaze me, re-imagining and recreating What Happens at Night is simply as good as it gets.”
Patrick Marber added, “I’m so thrilled and so excited to be working with the legendary Martin Scorsese to bring Peter Cameron’s astonishing and beautiful story to the screen.“
