DiCaprio and Scorsese jointly shared the photo on social media. The image shows DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as a married couple. They walk hand in hand through a bleak winter landscape.

The screenplay adapts Peter Cameron’s novel of the same name. The story follows an American married couple who travel to a small European town. They plan to adopt a baby there.
As events unfold, reality becomes uncertain. The couple’s attempts to claim the child raise deeper questions about their marriage and identities.
Scorsese and his actors
DiCaprio has a long history with Scorsese. Their collaborations include The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Shutter Island.
This marks Jennifer Lawrence’s first time being directed by the acclaimed filmmaker.
In a recent Actors on Actors discussion, Lawrence asked DiCaprio what to expect from Scorsese. DiCaprio said Scorsese offers strong film references and detailed guidance.
