Patricia Clarkson (Shutter Island, “Sharp Objects”) has joined the cast of Martin Scorsese‘s What Happens at Night, which hails from Apple Studios in partnership with Studiocanal.

Clarkson joins Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence.

Scorsese is directing from a script by Patrick Marber (Closer, Notes on a Scandal), based on Peter Cameron‘s 2020 horror mystery novel.

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.

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.

Scorsese will produce What Happens at Night via his Sikelia Productions.

Deadline first reported on Clarkson’s casting.
