Cameras started rolling on M. Night Shyamalan's mysterious Knock at the Cabin back in April, and we finally have some idea of what to expect from the filmmaker's latest project.
All we really had to go on up until now was that the film would be a thriller with some kind of sci-fi/horror twist, but it's now come to light that it will actually be an adaptation of Paul Tremblay's post-apocalyptic novel, The Cabin at the End of The World.
The book, which was released back in 2019 to great acclaim, follows "a couple named Andrew and Eric and their adopted daughter, Wen, who are taking a vacation in a secluded cabin in New Hampshire. Their dwelling is invaded by four strangers named Redmond, Leonard, Sabrina, and Adriane who take the family captive and tell them that, to prevent the upcoming apocalypse, one of them must be killed by the others."
Guardians of the Galaxy and Army of the Dead actor Dave Bautista will star (though we're not sure which character he'll play) alongside Rupert Grint (Servant), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Old), Ben Aldridge (Pennyworth) and Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter).
Shyamalan might be one of the most divisive directors working today, but even his less well-received movies tend to do very well at the box office, and his most recent film, Old, ended up taking in over $90 million worldwide (not a bad haul when budget and Pandemic Era BO factor in).
Shyamalan also penned the script, and will produce with Ashwin Rajan under the filmmaker’s Blinding Edge Pictures banner alongside Marc Bienstock and Steven Schneider.
Knock at the Cabin is set to hit theaters on February 3, 2023.
