For Shyamalan, it’ll be his next movie following 2024’s Trap, which starred Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue, as well as his daughter, Saleka Night Shyamalan, who provided original music for the film. Before that, he released a film in 2023, the apocalyptic psychological horror Knock at the Cabin, starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint.
