Universal Pictures dropped a Super Bowl TV spot of the new M. Night Shyamalan flick, ‘OLD‘. Just like other teasers from Shyamalan film archives this spot contains the DNA of his style of movies: chilling, mysterious, and pushed as a thriller.
To me the story reminds me of The Ruins (2008), The Shallows (2016), too many horror movies where gringos are told “not go there” but go because it’s an “exotic” place. This time around it is an international cast that includes: Gael García Bernal (Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle), Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), Rufus Sewell (Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle), Ken Leung (Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Jupiter Ascending), Abbey Lee (HBO’s Lovecraft Country), Aaron Pierre (Syfy’s Krypton), Alex Wolff (Hereditary), Embeth Davidtz (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Eliza Scanlen (Little Women), Emun Elliott (Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens), Kathleen Chalfant (Showtime’s The Affair) and Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit).
Blinding Edge Pictures is the production company, while M. Night Shyamalan is directing, producing and is the screenplay writer. The film is also produced by Ashwin Rajan (Glass, AppleTV+’s Servant) and Marc Bienstock (Glass, Split). The film’s executive producer is Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity, Pet Sematary).
