Courtney Howard Meg Ryan not only dazzles before the camera in “What Happens Later,” but behind it as well, as director and co-writer.

Scorsese recently told BFI’s Sight & Sound magazine that this first script “was going to take four-and-a-half hours just to read it.” “Our script was over two hundred pages,” he also confirmed to The New Yorker about the original “Flower Moon” screenplay.
