M. Night Shyamalan Joaquin Phoenix movie will start shooting in November.
M. Night Shyamalan Joaquin Phoenix movie in the works
After working together on Signs and the under-rated (in our opinion) The Village, Joaquin Phoenix will re-team with M. Night Shyamalan on a new project.
Shyamalan, who has a new movie due in cinemas next month called The Visit, will start shooting the unnamed film in November, with Phoenix leading. That’s all we know about, except for the fact that Jason Blum will produce. Blum and Shyamalan teamed on The Visit, a very low-budget film that was made from just $5 million. The early bizz for that movie suggest that it is a return to form for the director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, with the ‘secret movie‘ being picked up for international distribution by Universal. It’s quite a contrast to his last movie, the huge-budget, loss-making After Earth. A career reset was probably needed, and we look forward to see what he’s achieved with The Visit.
Here’s the official synopsis for the movie.
[quote_box_center]Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) say goodbye to their mother as they board a train and head deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time. Welcomed by Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie), all seems well until the siblings start to notice increasingly strange behavior from the seemingly charming couple. Once the children discover a shocking secret, they begin to wonder if they’ll ever make it home.[/quote_box_center]
We’ll bring you more news on the untitled Phoenix Shyamalan movie project as soon as we have it.
