Todd Haynes’ gay romance movie De Noche is back in production with Pedro Pascal set to play the lead.
The movie fell into purgatory last year when Joaquin Phoenix exited.
Now, MK2 Films has taken over financing for the film, with production starting in March 2026, as per Variety.
Pascal will star as a detective opposite Danny Ramirez, who plays a boarding school teacher, against the backdrop of 1930s Los Angeles.

The screenplay was written with Haynes’ collaborator Jon Raymond.
Pascal’s and Ramirez’s characters are set to have an unexpected love affair, all while being targeted by the corrupt LA political machine.
It will see them forced to flee to Mexico.
Haynes said of the film: “This story, with Pedro Pascal and Danny Ramirez in the two leads, arises out of an era – all too relevant to our own – of domestic corruption, racial exploitation and global terror.
“But it emerges as a testament to the inexplicable powers of desire and love to survive and overcome even the most crippling of human barriers.”
