Mads Mikkelsen Joins the Cast of Martin Scorsese’s Film "What Happens at Night"
Deadline has confirmed that Mads Mikkelsen has joined the cast of the upcoming film What Happens at Night, directed by Martin Scorsese. The project will be an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Peter Cameron.
The plot follows an American couple who travel to a small European town with the initial goal of adopting a child. However, shortly after their arrival, strange events begin to occur: they gradually lose their connection to reality and can no longer understand what is happening around them. The town’s atmosphere blurs the line between reality and illusion, forcing the characters to rethink their lives and relationships.
The lead roles will be played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. With their participation, the film will unfold as an intense drama with elements of a psychological thriller — a story about a crisis of perception and an encounter with the inexplicable.
Mads Mikkelsen’s involvement promises to add an additional layer of intrigue to the project: although details about his role remain undisclosed, the actor is known for his ability to embody complex and ambiguous characters.
The film’s release date is currently unknown. Fans of Scorsese’s work, DiCaprio, Lawrence, and Mads Mikkelsen will have to be patient to see this mysterious story come to life on screen.
