This year\u2019s 12th edition of the Scary Movies<\/strong> festival at Film at Lincoln Center<\/strong> premiered Ari Aster<\/strong>\u2019s extended version of \u201cMidsommar\u201d this past Saturday.
Martin Scorsese, 83, is currently shooting \u201cWhat Happens at Night\u201d in Prague, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio. Is it conceivable for him to shoot back-to-back films?
It\u2019s not as though he hasn\u2019t attempted this recently. Back in 2024, Variety reported that Scorsese planned to shoot \u201cSinatra\u201d and \u201cThe Life of Jesus\u201d during the summer and fall, before those plans fell through\u2014largely due to rights issues for the former and script rewrites for the latter.
By the looks of it, he may be attempting the same feat again, albeit with two different projects.
When \u201cWhat Happens at Night\u201d wraps in May, Scorsese will have roughly eight months for post-production before potentially hopping on board another shoot. Casting grids have started to appear for Scorsese\u2019s \u201cMidnight Vendetta\u201d in USA Production<\/span><\/a>, Production List<\/span><\/a> and Production Weekly<\/span><\/a>. All three list a December shoot in New Orleans for the film.
Scorsese\u2019s tentatively titled \u201cMidnight Vendetta,\u201d which had its script submitted by the great Eric Roth (\u201cThe Insider,\u201d \u201cMunich\u201d) last year, will tackle the Mafia\u2019s arrival in New Orleans around 1890, marking the first major foothold of organized Italian crime in the United States.
Sicilian immigrants, many fleeing poverty and violence back home, settled in the city\u2019s port neighborhoods, bringing with them old-world networks and rivalries. Tensions quickly escalated between local authorities and the growing Italian community, culminating in the infamous murder of Police Chief David Hennessy in 1890.
Scorsese currently has a wide array of projects on his plate, and this rumored second shoot in 2026 wouldn\u2019t surprise me one bit. I go back to his 2023 quote, given in an interview<\/span><\/a> with Deadline, in which he admitted, \u201cI\u2019m old. I want to tell stories, but there\u2019s no more time.\u201d If that\u2019s his mindset, then I would imagine fitting in as many stories as possible, while his health is still intact, would be the plan going forward.
