Rodrigo Prieto Joins Martin Scorsese’s ‘What Happens At Night’ As Cinematographer

Veteran cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto is reportedly set to join Martin Scorsese’s What Happens At Night per a new production grid, via reporting from World of Reel’s Jordan Ruimy.

The grid says Martin Scorsese’s next film, What Happens At Night, is set for a February production start in the Czech Republic. To nobody’s surprise, Rodrigo Prieto will return to DP this next Scorsese movie for their fifth collaboration in thirteen years, following The Wolf of Wall Street, Silence, The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon.

What Happens At Night, the book the film will be adapting by Peter Cameron, follows an American couple in a remote European town where they adopt a baby. Whilst they stay in their hotel, they meet an eccentric singer, a sleazy and corrupt businessman, as well as a faith healer — soon confronting a strange world that challenges their way of life.

The book was first published on August 4, 2020, making it a relatively new novel and one that could be set in the modern day, something modern Scorsese movies rarely are. The book won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Nominee for Fiction in 2020.

Prieto was previously attached to shoot Scorsese’s Frank Sinatra film before that was unceremoniously shelved due to a rights issue. He has previously worked on films such as Barbie (with Greta Gerwig), Brokeback Mountain (with Ang Lee), Argo (with Ben Affleck) and Babel (with Alejandro González Iñárritu).

What Happens At Night is set to be directed by Martin Scorsese and is written by Patrick Marber, and currently stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. The film will be DP’ed by Rodrigo Prieto.
