Hmm, so I assume - this film is about, clones that age rapidly.

And molecular technologies, perhaps most of the actors in the trailer are compromised individuals
with evil intent - Evil, but they still love their cloned rapidly aging replacement family.

Such are the throws of an M. Night Shyamalan film

The twist. They're actually microbes and the beach is top of an Old Spice can.

Looks cool, Shyamalan has done great stuff recently so I'll check this out at the movies.

 

[Nhranaghacon]

I've enjoyed most of his films

Didn't enjoy After Earth and a couple of others.

Typically... I always find them too long, and drawn out - paced too purposely slow even when I do enjoy them.

That's the problem with trying to draw a meaningful narrative in a 2 hour 45 minute runtime

I really liked his series 'Servant' on AppleTV+ im all in for this.

 

[The Hamburglar]

I was big fan of
Breakable, combined and shattered.

Wonder what the twist will be?, that people give a shit about him putting twists in all his movies?

Had no idea that was his! Just watched it before Christmas and really enjoyed it.

Yeah the second season is on episode 5 and pretty great too.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I'm totally down. I know the dude has massive potential every movie. He's made some absolute dogshit movies but he's also made the sixth sense and unbreakable. He got close with split to those but fell a little short.

I still like twist endings.

The greatest twist of all is when he makes a movie without a twist.

 

[GeekyDad]

Can't say I'm psyched by the trailer, but it's M. Night Shyamalan, so I will watch.

 

[Halo is Back]

He sure is trying, I will give him that much

 

[Cleared_Hot]

It's like the Happening except this time it's aging.


Fuck, remember when he surprised us all with Split and then completely botched the super hyped sequel? Fucking disaster.

I think The Village was his best. I fucking called the twist when I saw the trailer, so it was still satisfying when my theory came true; however, I felt the story was really well written and the characters were fantastic. It was a very philosophical film, and the scene when the poor blind girl was in the woods was absolutely gut wrenching.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

The sad part is that he has a great eye for camera work, I've just been bored to tears by every damn film he makes.

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope Old brings something new to his style.

A lot of people bring up the narratives or twists in Shyamalan's movies, but what is up with the acting in them? He manages to bring out awkward, unnatural performances from decent actors. Is it intentional or what?

 

[dead monkey uk]

Twist is the film is set on the secret private island of Mr Glass who is developing a secret weapon.

It's his awkward scenes with awkward dialog and directing.

How will your performance as an actor be anything but awkward when you have to shoot stuff like this:
